Aiden Ferguson with an announcement about an Anti-Internment League march later this month.
ANTI-INTERNMENT LEAGUE MARCH SUNDAY 10 AUGUST
The purpose of this March is to raise awareness of the plight of those currently interned, either by the British Government via Stormont or by the 26 County establishment.
The Anti Internment League recognises internees as political prisoners that are unjustly incarcerated using three methods.
1. Internment by remand - activists that have been charged with secret evidence, little evidence or no evidence so that they may be removed from the streets and political causes they contribute to.
2. Internment through Revocation of Early Release License - the British Secretary of State for the Six Counties has the power to return any early release prisoner to jail, without that person having the right to hear any evidence or allegations being made against them.
3. Internment through Miscarriage of Justice - there are a number of Republican activists that have been convicted by a single Diplock judge, despite protesting their innocence and the "evidence" against them being contaminated, incomplete or non-existent. Paid perjurers have also been used. In addition, secret evidence has also been used to convict them. Evidence that is never disclosed either to the accused or their defence team. In the 26 counties, the word of a single Garda above a certain rank alone is enough to convict someone of membership of a "subversive" organisation.
The Anti Internment League is committed to highlighting and challenging these abuses of human rights against Irish citizens involved in political activism. We are an organisation that is supported by, and contributed to, by Prisoner Welfare Organisations, Republicans, Trade Unionists, Community Activists, Human Rights organisations and by Prisoners themselves.
We are totally non-party political, and our events are open to all - regardless of religion, political persuasion, gender, sexuality, race or class. Our sole focus is on remembering victims of past Internment policies, while working towards ending those of today.
Assemble @ Ardoyne Ave 12.30pm.
Take it down from the Mast Boys!! Loud and clear in their ears just like last year!!
