BRITISH BATTER EUROPEAN HUMAN RIGHTS IN OCCUPIED IRELAND

The Irish Government took a case to the European Commission on Human Rights (Ireland v. United Kingdom) regarding the introduction of internment without trial and the treatment of Irish political prisoners of conscience in British Occupied Ireland. The European Commission stated that it

“considered the combined use of the five methods to amount to torture, on the grounds that (1) the intensity of the stress caused by techniques creating sensory deprivation “directly affects the personality physically and mentally”; and (2) “the systematic application of the techniques for the purpose of inducing a person to give information shows a clear resemblance to those methods of systematic torture which have been known over the ages..a modern system of torture falling into the same category as those systems.applied in previous times as a means of obtaining information and confessions.”

Forty years later despite a so called peace process, the British are still enforcing internment without trial in British Occupied Ireland and still torturing Irish political prisoners of conscience. The numbers are too numerous to list here but Gerry McGeough, Martin Corey and Marian Price are just some of its better known victims.

Take Marian Price for example, held by the British in solitary confinement now for more than 7 months, who despite a judge ordering her release, an un-elected Englishman on behalf of the Queen of England, ordered interned without trial in her own country, at Her Majesty’s pleasure. i.e. indefinitely, despite the Queen earlier granting her a pardon. The British scornfully now conveniently say they have lost it. The pardon is a matter of public record, which the media and judiciary are very familiar with for many years but such is British injustice and its disdain for basic standards of justice, with their brutality in Ireland, that the British scoff at European standards of justice.

Marian Price has been force fed 400 times by the British on 200 days of hunger strike, protesting with her life British injustice in Occupied Ireland. Marian as a result of such a brutal hunger strike, with her now frail body is deteriorating rapidly, in physical arthritic agony as result of British torture, along with the daily psychological damage of 7 months of solitary confinement is now in mortal danger of dying in a British prison interned withut trial.

European Court of Human Rights finds British Guilty

In the case of another Irish woman Mairead Farrell, who was shot in the back in cold blood by British Special Assassination Services unarmed in Gibraltar, along with two comrades, the European Court found that the three had been unlawfully killed in breach of Article 2 – right to life, of the European Convention on Human Rights and criticised the authorities for lack of appropriate care in the control and organisation of an arrest operation.

British agents have now again threatened campaigners for Marian Price with assassination, as in the instance of campaigners for the ten hunger strikers, who have already died in British Occupied Ireland. In that instance Miriam Daly and Seamus Costello who campaigned for the prisoners were assassinated by British agents, to intimidate others from supporting the ten prisoners who died. Today again there is a massive campaign of censorship, intimidation, dis-information, division as the British continue on 40 years later, with their brutal repression, torture and internment without trial of those who speak out about British occupation and utter British disdain for basic European Human rights in Occupied Ireland
