Gary Donnelly Imprisonment

32 County Sovereignty Movement : Free Gary Donnelly Now

The 32csm in Dublin would like to take the opportunity to condemn unequivocally the political arrest and imprisonment of our Derry comrade Gary Donnelly on the 5th of March by the RUC/PSNI. This arrest was in response to Gary appealing a fine he received for having his arm broken by RUC man John Neil last year. The judge ruled that Gary was responsible for assaulting a detective whilst in handcuffs after having his arm broken in three places. Gary has received a 7 month jail sentence for this. Aside from the personal difficulty this has now placed on him and his young family this is very much a political issue. The continuing harassment and imprisonment of republicans goes unchallenged by provisional Sinn Fein and the mainstream media. The criminilisation of the 32 county sovereignty movement and other groups continues apace, a policy being rapidly implemented in the six counties by the RUC and in the 26 by their allies in the Gardai. We urge all republicans to protests the imprisonment of Gary Donnelly and all republican prisoners. There is no doubt that with the devolution of policing and justice to the puppet regime at stormont there can only be an increase in these incidents. We call on all republicans regardless of their political affiliations to resist this implementation of British injustice in Ireland.
