Republican landings, as there is reportedly an objection from another organisation.
Whilst steps were being taken to resolve this matter, there was a threat issued against the four Republicans, from paramilitaries aligned to the LVF. They are currently declining to eat prison food, as it is their belief that it will be contaminated, given that there had been a previous attempt on their lives, as they endeavoured to prepare their own food. On this occasion, an aerosol can connected to batteries, was placed in the microwave and the power activated, just before they entered the room. Thankfully, it was a failed bid, the device did not detonate, as it was discovered in time.
The screws blamed the Republicans and confined them to their cells, refusing them entrance to the canteen area, resulting in them losing the opportunity to ensure that their own meals were safe to consume. One of the four, has lost 20lbs in weight since this despicable situation has emerged, and the remaining three have underlying health problems.
The prison authorities have now dispersed the lads around the prison. We are calling on all Republicans to support these men, regardless of personal opinion or agenda. These men are at the mercy of the British, it is your duty as Irish Republicans, to bring attention to their plight. They were incarcerated on charges of a political nature and as such have earned the right to be classed as Republican POWs.
Tommy and Dessie Hamill , Austin Creggan and Mark McGilloway all from Dungannon Co.Tyrone, do not allow them to suffer alone
