When Marian Price was a young girl of 19, she along with her young sister were taken by the Provisional IRA and other members like Gerry Kelly to London, to be used as political cannon fodder to bomb London. Her senior leadership informed on her and the British then force fed her for 200 days 400 times. Now Mr Kelly along with other senior Provos, command huge salaries on the gravy train known as Stormont, after their surrender to the British, having dumped ordinary people like Marian and other political prisoners, who refuse to inform on their comrades or collaborate with British occupation. These prisoners of political conscience suffer today, the same brutality and torture at the hands of British sectarian thug operatives daily, that the 10 hunger strikers suffered, prior to their murders by Thatcher and the British.
Marian Price an icon of Irish women's resistance to British colonialism and occupation in Ireland, recently admitted her days as a militant activist are long past but she said, "I cannot condemn another young person for following the same path I did." Because as a former member of the IRA who along with other members will not accept, collaborate or inform on traditional Irish republicans who will not surrender to the British, she has been politically interned without trial, because of her political conscience
Yes, at a traditional annual Easter Rising ceremony she attended on April 25, 2011 which are not only legal but are simply memorials, she held up a piece of paper, which contained a prepared statement from The 32 County Sovereignty Movement, while another, unidentified person read it aloud at the City Cemetery, in Derry. The statement was not written, prepared, consented, refuted or pre-acknowledged by Marian. She simply held the paper, which contained the statement, so it could be read aloud, as it was terribly windy.
Less, than a month later, Marian was arrested, detained and charged with Promoting Terrorism for her action, on April 25, at the 2011 Easter Rising commemoration.Her actions, for which the new charge stems. amounted to nothing more than attending the rally and holding a piece of paper. The British Government devised the action to justify the charge, which cannot be substantiated. The court’s decided to grant her bail on the grounds that she was not a danger to the public. The British Secretary of State to the Queen of England, Owen Patterson overruled the court and ordered her political internment without trial, as the spokesperson for the 32 County Sovereignty Movement, and usurped the court’s decision to grant her bail.
The British Government will stop at nothing from blaming, to charging, and using Marion as a scapegoat, to justify their inappropriate use of force and violence in various events, involving many ordinary Irish people in the the colonized 6 Counties over the past 2 years. Marian as an activist for prisoners rights and in her capacity as spokesperson for 32CSM highlighted the almost daily torture and brutality of her now fellow Irish political prisoners in her all male Maghaberry prison.
Marian has been a staunch advocate and supporter of Irish Republicans and helped in the aid and welfare of past Irish Republican Prisoners but has not committed or even been charged with any crime for 30 years. Her efforts have all been made in a peaceful and silent manner, since being released from prison in 1980 after being forced fed 400 times while on hunger strike for 200 days with her sister.Now as a long time vilified figure by the British Government, they want their remaining pound of flesh, despite the Belfast Agreement, they’ve created a ruse of charges, and political internment to detain her, and in a MEN’S PRISON.
This is illegal under European and international law and inappropriate but these current actions of the British Government are meant to send a couple of clear messages to anyone:
1.) In the eyes of the British Government, you too, can be detained for whatever reason.
2.) If you hold certain beliefs, ideas or philosophies, which go against or conflict with those of the British Government/Crown, which are expressed directly or implicitly in public, or anywhere on record, and refuse to relinquish such beliefs, ideas or philosophies, you too, maybe subjected to the British Government’s actions of internment without trial or other actions which may or may not be legal, or even remotely humane.
BRITISH SINN FEIN MUST TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ADMINISTERING THIS AND PUT A STOP TO IT IMMEDIATELY ! THIS IS AN UTTER DISGRACE ! BRITISH SINN FEIN CAME TO POWER ON THE BACKS OF PRISONERS LIKE BOBBY SANDS AND THE 10 DEAD HUNGER STRIKERS WHO GOT THE SAME TREATMENT.

NO ONE CAN CALL THEMSELVES A REPUBLICAN WHO ADMINISTERS MEDIEVAL PRISON CONDITIONS SUCH AS MAGHABERRY TODAY ! THIS IS DISGUSTING AND SO IS POLITICAL INTERNMENT WITHOUT TRIAL ! HOW DARE THEY COMMEMORATE BOBBY SANDS AND INSULT HIS MEMORY WITH THIS ! YOU WOULDN'T TREAT ANIMALS LIKE THIS ! SORT IT ! OR ANSWER TO THE PEOPLE ! - PASS IT ON !
