Two political activists held under section 30
The IRSP Ard Comhairle condemn the activities of Gardai special branch in the Waterford area following the arrest and charging under section thirty of two local IRSP members James Butler and John O’Donoghue.
The IRSP views these arrests as a crude attempt to disrupt and hinder the continuing development of the IRSP in the twenty six counties.
Ard Comhairle member Pól Little stated that the latest events highlighted the draconian nature of the southern criminal justice system.
“This is clearly an attack on the IRSP as well as radical political agitation within the 26 Counties.
Today we have two individuals who face substantial prison terms on the word of a single Gardai officer, all because of their political orientation.”
“It is clear that Section 30 must be scrapped and we will be flagging the plight of these two individuals with all appropriate Human Rights bodies.”
