POWs

Interned By Britain

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

“Interned by Britain, facilitated by Stormont.” Marian Price was released on May 39th, 2013 (BBC) but it took a while for some IRPWA (web) placards to come down. The first is in Lone Moor Road, Derry. The second – “Support the republican POWs on protest in Maghaberry” – is in Eastway, Derry and was later vandalised (see M09535). The third is in Brompton Park, Ardoyne, Belfast.

See previously: Free Marian Price (2011) and Free Marian Price Now (2012). The other portrait in the final image is Martin Corey – see e.g. 38 Days.

Free Stephen Murney

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

Here are various walls supporting Stephen Murney, an éırígí (web) activist currently in prison since December 2012 on terrorism charges (BBC-NI).

The first is in Hugo Street, to which an éırígí star was later added;
the second (from March) is on Divis Street;
the third, next to the outstretched arms of Jim Larkin, is under the advertising hoarding in Northumberland Street – in November, Larkin and the banner were replaced with the stencils in the two following images.
The final image is from the Andersonstown Road.

Republican Newry

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

Here is a collection of small boards from anti-Agreement republicans (probably Éırígí web) in Derrybeg and central Newry. “Stop strip searching of republican prisoners”, “RUC-PSNI Different name, same aim”, “Release Martin Corey now!”, “Free Marian Price”, “End Israeli terror in Palestine”, “End internment 1871-2013”.

Cogús [conscience] is the POW-support organisation of the RNU (tw). On the left is a blanketman, on the right is a contemporary POW being beaten by a prison guard in riot gear. “Make a difference – Join RNU – Be committed, stand as one – Implement 12th August Agreement – End strip searches – End controlled movement.”

End Internment 1971-2012

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

“End internment, 1971-2012. www.eırıgı.org.” Imprisonment without trial was introduced in Northern Ireland on August 9th, 1971. The return to prison of volunteers by having their license or bail revoked is considered internment by anti-Agreement republicans – see e.g. Release Marian Price or End Internment By Remand.

Hand-painted “BRY” [Bogside Republican Youth], “No RUC” and “Support our POWs” boards but also computer-designed and -printed stickers in the Bogside, Derry. The boards are probably local productions, while the stickers probably come from the same German store responsible for the anti-fascist, “Irish republican solidarity” and “Good night, loyalist pride” stickers (see Northern Ireland World). The Facebook sticker is presumably for the store or for antifa; as far as we know, BRY has never had a Facebook page or internet presence; the web address “www.irishrepublicansolidarity.info/” is defunct.

Implement The Aug 2010 Agreement

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

“H-Block 1981, Maghaberry 2012”, “End forced strip searches”, “End controlled movement”, “Stop the torture of Irish political prisoners.”

The “August 2010 Agreement” is an agreement reached between prisoners and authorities about treatment in Roe House, an exclusively republican wing in Maghaberry. The tower beyond is the Springfield Rd police station.
