IRPWA terrà una protesta all’ambasciata lituana a Ballsbridge, Dublino il 8th novembre alle 13 in sostegno di Michael Campbell un uomo irlandese tenuto correntemente in un prigione a Vilnius.
Michael è tenuto per i scorsi nove mesi senza nessun imputazioni contro di lui. La sua famiglia è stata negata di visitarlo dal procuratore principale là e quando un amico della famiglia è andato a Vilnius per uno dei suoi rinvii in carcere della corte lui è stato rimosso dalla corte all'insistenza del procuratore. Non è permesso contatto telefonico con casa e l'unico contatto che ha avuto con la sua famiglia è stato alcune lettere a casa. E' tenuta in una cella con altri tre prigionieri, nessuna di chi parlano affatto l'inglese e chi trascorrendo il loro tempo a fumare droghe. Michael deve mantenere la sua testa ad una finestra rotta per respirare l'aria fresca. L'unica toletta è un foro nella terra. L'alimento della prigione è non commestibile e le circostanze nell'ambito di cui sta "vivendo" sono terribili. L'unica gente a vedere Michael dal suo arresto è stato i suoi avvocati. La sua famiglia sta lavorando tranquillamente per provare a persuadere le autorità per permetterli di visitare ma inutilmente. Si sono messe in contatto con il IRPWA per chiederci di sollevare la consapevolezza del caso di Michael ed mettere in stato di allerta altri alle circostanze disumane nei quali vive Michael. Chiederemmo a tutti i membri del 32CSM ad assistere al nostro picchetto all'ambasciata lituana e di esercitare tanta pressione che possiamo sulle autorità in quel paese di curare quest’uomo irlandese con una certa parvenza di umanità e della dignità.

È míse le meas,
Marian Price (presidente IRPWA)

The IRPWA will be holding a protest at the Lithuanian Embassy Ballsbridge, Dublin on 1st November at 1.00pm in support of Irishman Michael Campbell currently held in a Vilnius Prison.
Michael has been held for the past nine months with no charges being brought against him. His family have been prevented from visiting him by the main prosecutor there and when a family friend went to Vilnius for one of his court remands he was removed from the court at the insistence of the prosecutor. He is not allowed phone-calls home and the only contact he has had with his family has been a few letters home. He is being held in a cell with three other prisoners, none of whom speak any English and who spend their time smoking drugs. Michael has to keep his head at a broken window to get fresh air. The only toilet is a hole in the ground. The prison food is inedible and the conditions under which he is being held are appalling. The only people to have seen Michael since his arrest have been his lawyers. His family have been working quietly to try to persuade the authorities to allow them to visit but to no avail. They contacted the IRPWA to ask us to raise awareness about his case and alert others to the inhumane conditions he is being held under. We would ask all members of 32CSM cumainn to attend our picket at the Lithuanian Embassy and exert as much pressure as we can on the authorities in that country to treat this Irishman with some semblance of humanity and dignity.

Is míse le meas,
Marian Price (Chairperson IRPWA)

To: CONSULATE GENERAL OF THE REPUBLIC OF LITHUANIA

To whom it may concern,

I am writing today to address an appalling and unwarranted abuse of
human rights in one of your prisons, to an Irish man who has been held
there by your government on no charges for the past nine months.


I understand that Michael Campbell is being held with no contact
whatsoever with any of his family and loved ones, other than a few
letter home. In this age where phone use is ubiquitous, it seems
inhumane to not at least allow phone contact in the past nine months.
Furthermore, it is cruel to not allow a family visit over nine entire
months. I am aware that a family member who traveled a great distance
to be at one of Michael's court appearances was removed from the court room and not allowed see Michael.


To continue, I am alarmed to learn of the conditions in Michael's
jail cell. I am told he is being held in a cell with three others; none
of whom speak English. These prisoners spend their day smoking drugs,
and Michael is forced to strain his head at a broken window to get
fresh air. He is not allowed access to proper sanitation and is using
an open hole in the ground. His food is inedible. I call these
conditions appalling.


Please see that this situation, perhaps until now unknown to you,
receives your immediate attention. At the very least, please act to
ensure Michael receives a long-overdue visit with his family.

The favor of a response is requested.


Yours sincerely,


(YOUR NAME/ADDRESS)
