Members of Dublin
Republican Youth along with Sinn Féin and elected councillors held a
picket outside Dublin City Hall earlier today. The picket called on
Dublin City Council to support a motion calling for the immediate and
unconditional release of seriously ill prisoner Marian Price.
Speaking outside City
Hall earlier, Dublin Republican Youth activist Mick Farrell said:
“The continued
imprisonment of Marian price is a disgrace. The charges brought
against her in May 2011 when she was arrested have been dismissed.
She poses no danger to anybody and is in serious ill health.
“It's time Justice
Minister David Ford and British Secretary of State Owen Patterson began moves to have her
released immediately and unconditionally.”
Marian Price was
arrested in May 2011 but all charges were dismissed. She has been
granted bail on subsequent charges but British Secretary of State
Owen Patterson revoked her license and because of this
she remains imprisoned. On 22 May, following pressure from Sinn Féin, she was moved from
Hydebank Prison to a Belfast hospital due to deteriorating health.
