Maghaberry Nightmare Continues

Dublin 32csm in solidarity with the Maghaberry POWs.

The McGowan –McLoughlin cumann of the 32csm condemns the continuing abuse of the prisoners in Roe House in Maghaberry prison. These men are on 23 hour lockdown and denied recreation and association. This is a situation that has left the men isolated and vulnerable. The prison officers have also continued in the tradition left to them by H Block screws by assaulting republican prisoners. Turlough McAllister is the latest victim of these brutal tactics, he was savagely assaulted by a number of wardens and has now been left with only a t shirt and tracksuit bottoms to wear, with a bucket to relieve himself. This degrading treatment of political prisoners does not go unnoticed or unchallenged. We urge all republicans to stand behind our comrades in Maghaberry at this time. The process of criminalization has not gone away and just as it was fought against by the blanket men and hunger strikers so too must we take a stand in defence of the rights of these men.
