The 32CSM condemn the recent actions of Garda Special Branch in Donegal.


The 32 County Sovereignty Movement are deeply alarmed at the behaviour of the Gardai Special Branch in Co Donegal following the outing of a prominent Drug Dealer in the area. A number of weeks back, members of the 32 County Sovereignty Movement and anti drugs activists exposed a large Cocaine smuggling operation in the Ballyshannon/Bundoran area and publicly named and shamed the main ringleader involved. A anti drugs activist was then hospitalised by thugs hired by this Drugs Smuggler. It has transpired that since this incident this dealer has been issuing threats to republicans in the area. This week Gardai special branch approached a number of anti drugs activists and told them their lives were under threat from drug dealers. The same members of the special branch later arrived at the same homes and raided them under anti terror legislation. The Branch then called to these people on a third occasion and informed the anti drugs activists that those they had named and shamed were going to sue them. The 32 County Sovereignty Movement view these developments with alarm as it would appear that the special branch are running errands for these drug dealers and are turning a blind eye to their anti community activities while harassing republicans and anti drugs activists. Republicans in Donegal have cause to fear the special branch in the are given the long history of corruption and fraternising with criminal elements that this force have in the county. We would urge all republicans and progressives in the county and across the North West to stand behind these activists and help rid the area of the cancer of drug dealers and criminal thugs.

Sample letter

Dear Sir

I write to you on behalf of the Noel Maguire as it concerns his repatriation back to Ireland from a British jail and your refusal to accept Noels application thus seemingly stripping him of his Irish Citizenship and the civil rights that are associated with it.

It is unconscionable that the Irish government continues to refuse to repatriate Noel. It is claimed that he has no close relatives living in the 26 counties, this is untrue as Noel's wife and their two children in fact live within an hour’s drive of Portlaoise Prison in Co Laois and are willing to visit him should he be repatriated. He also has two sisters and a brother in Ireland.

Noel Maguire - who is from Co Fermanagh but hold a valid 26 County passport more than qualifies for repatriation on the grounds of the European Directive as an Irish National.

His mental and physical health must be close to breaking point with the way he is being unfairly treated these continued delays which are tantamount to psychological torture.

On humanitarian grounds I ask that the decision to refuse repatriation be reconsidered and he can return home to serve his sentence and be closer to his family.

Please act now!

Thank you.

Noel Maguire refused repatriation again.

Noel Maguire refused repatriation again.

Irish political prisoner Noel Maguire in HMP Full Sutton England, has had his application for repatriation refused again on the dubious grounds "he has closer ties to the United Kingdom than an Irish jurisdiction."

Noel has two young sons living in the 26 Counties, and a former wife who is willing to visit him should he be repatriated - and has put that in writing. Noel also hold an up-to-date Irish passport issued by the Department of Internal affairs in Dublin in 2001. He has no relatives in England.

For the Department of Justice to now claim Noel has closer ties to the United Kingdom than to an Irish jurisdiction is flying in the face of reality and legality. It is certainly discrimination and victimisation.

Noels papers have been sent to the Irish in Britain Representation Group (IBRG)and other civil rights groups in Britain and Ireland for interpretaion.
The case is on-going.

The findings of the Minister of Justice is currently being challenged by Noel.

Boycott Crossmaglen policing meeting

Boycott Crossmaglen policing meeting

The 32 County Sovereignty Movement call on the people of South Armagh to boycott the upcoming DPP meeting which is to be held in Crossmaglen on september 4th.

The DPP is nothing more than a public relations stunt aimed at fooling people into believing that the RUC/PSNI can be held accountable and in the process getting them to accept British policing in Ireland. The fact is that the only people the RUC are accountable to is the British government.

The RUC/PSNI is an illegal police force tasked with upholding Britain's illegal sovereign claim over a part of Ireland and denying the Irish people their democratic right to freedom and independence. While the issue of national sovereignty remains unsettled British policing will remain political policing and no republican should support such a force.

It is also a slap on the face that this meeting is to be held in Crossmaglen a town where once no member of the crown forces could be safe. It is exactly because of Crossmaglen's republican reputation that this meeting is being held there, the rational being that if it goes ahead without incident then it should be no problem holding these meetings in other parts of South Armagh in the future.

Throughout the conflict the people of South Armagh have suffered injustice and oppression at the hands of the Crown forces. They have been tortured, imprisoned and lost family and friends yet have remained unbroken. We call on them to retain their spirit of resistance and to not allow themselves to be bought off or co opted into accepting the occupation as the constitutional nationalist parties have been.

13 settembre 1956 - 13 luglio 1981

Martin Hurson

Una piccola casa di campagna ad un paio di miglia da Galbally e dieci acri di terra dove si coltivavano patate e vi pascolavano un paio di mucche: è qui che nacque e crebbe Martin Hurson insieme con i suoi otto fratelli. Martin andava alla Saint Patrick School di Galbally, ma quando aveva da poco compiuto 13 anni, in seguito alla improvvisa perdita della madre Mary Ann, abbandonò gli studi ed iniziò a lavorare prima vicino casa, poi si trasferì a Londra da dove fece ritorno solamente nel 1973. Dopo il suo rientro a Dungannon, come la maggioranza dei giovani cattolici del tempo, iniziò a subire immotivate e continue minacce ed intimidazioni da parte degli agenti delle British Crown Forces, finchè un giorno, a Pomeroy, dove viveva Bernadette, la sua ragazza, non venne addirittura percosso in maniera brutale. Da tale episodio all’ingresso nei ranghi dell’IRA il passo è stato decisamente breve. Bisogna comunque dire che Hurson ha sempre mantenuto una certa discrezione sulla sua militanza nell’Esercito Repubblicano Irlandese: addirittura i suoi familiari non erano al corrente del suo attivismo: ciò però non significa che Hurson non fosse stato sempre pronto a compiere le azioni militari ordinategli. Nel 1976, arrestato con l’accusa di cospirazione ed appartenenza all’IRA, venne condotto nella RUC station di Omagh dove in seguito ad un selvaggio interrogatorio gli fu estorta una sorta di confessione in virtù della quale fu condannato a 20 anni di reclusione. Detenuto nel Kesh, aderì subito alla blanket protest; poi, nel dicembre del 1980, partecipò allo sciopero della fame, che durò quasi fino al Natale. Il 29 maggio dell’anno successivo andò nuovamente on hunger strike, prendendo parte alla nuova campagna finalizzata ad ottenere il riconoscimento dello status di prigioniero politico e delle five demands. Con il passare dei giorni le condizioni fisiche diventavano sempre più critiche; così i familiari, supportati da varie associazioni, cominciarono a fare pressioni affinché Martin ponesse fine al suo digiuno: varie manifestazioni di supporto al giovane Hurson ed alla sua famiglia vennero organizzate in tutta l’Irlanda, ma il suo proposito di andare fino in fondo restò immutabile. Morì nella notte di lunedì 13 luglio 1981 a Long Kesh, con Padre Murphy ad il fratello Brendan ai suoi fianchi, mentre il padre e Bernadette si trovavano fuori dai gates del carcere in quanto le autorità non permisero loro l’ingresso nel penitenziario. Violentissimi tumulti scoppiarono a Belfast, nella zona dei Divis Flats, in seguito alla notizia della morte del sesto hunger striker. La salma di Martin Hurson fu sepolta nel cimitero di Galbally. a cura di: Pregoni Gustavo
