Support anti-internment marchers

As former internees and Hooded Men we call on people to support and attend this Sunday’s anti-internment march in Ardoyne, Belfast. 

In particular, we call on all former prisoners, ex-internees, those sentenced in non-jury Diplock courts and all of those who are now at the mercy of the suspension of license for voicing an opinion or criticising the status quo to come and join the demonstration.

Last year, many former prisoners, internees, and license hostages, including many of the surviving Hooded Men from Derry, Belfast, Lurgan and Armagh, who were tortured in August 1971, at the reintroduction of internment, along with families of our now deceased comrades, attended the march. We met lots of old friends and made many new ones, and the brilliant atmosphere added to everyone’s determination to see a final end to internment in Ireland on both sides of the border.
