“Release Martin Corey, political prisoner. End internment now” with an unusual use of a dove rather than a lark. For background, see Release Martin Corey. With various other anti-Agreement graffiti and stencils in the area, including a “Join RSF [Republican Sınn Féın] – Éıre Nua” stencil, “SF” in a cross-hairs, and a “CIRA” “RIRA” cross-word.

End British Internment!

2013-08-152024-09-30Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

“End British internment! Maghaberry. End forced strip searching! End controlled movement!” The high-security prison holds 1,000 prisoners and segregates loyalists and republicans, a situation described as “a festering sore” in a recent inspection (Tele). Republicans say that the current crisis overlooks existing issues such as controlled movement and strip searches.

Release Martin Corey

2013-07-242025-02-24Extramural Activity1 Comment

Martin Corey was found guilty of the murder of two policemen in 1973 and released in 1992. As noted in the tarp — “interned in Maghaberry prison since April 2010” — he was returned to prison in 2010, and a 2011 commission ruled that he was a member of the CIRA (WP). An appeal – on the grounds that evidence had been withheld – was rejected in December, 2012. The campaign for his release continues in republican areas:

Free Protestant Hostages

2013-07-102025-02-24Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

The larger plaque on the board above reads, “We wish to pay tribute to the young men and women from this area, who are currently serving or have served with Her Majesty’s Forces in Afghanistan and to those from Northern Ireland who have paid the Surpreme Sacrifice. Lest we forget”.

The smaller one has part of the Ode of Remembrance from Laurence Binyon’s poem For The Fallen: “They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old, Age shall not weary them, Nor the years condemn, At the going down of the sun, And in the morning, We will Remember them.”

The side-wall reads “End PSNIRA political policing – free Protestant hostages” with a pair of fists bound by rope (rather than barbed wire).
