The Irish Republican Socialist Party spokesperson stated today that:
"Our party remains confident and are continuing its campaigning efforts for the immediate release of Political Prisoner Dessie O'Hare from incarceration." IRSP spokesperson continued: "So far Dessie O'Hare has spent over 13 years in Portlaoise gaol but its states under strand three of the 'Belfast Agreement' that all prisoners whose organisations are on ceasefire will benefit from the early release scheme. "Dessie O'Hare is a recognised Irish National Liberation Army (I.N.L.A) political prisoner of war. Therefore, as the I.N.L.A is an organisation which is currently on ceasefire, Dessie O'Hare must benefit from this early release scheme just as others rightfully have. The early release scheme is afforded to all other political prisoners who qualify. "The Irish Justice Minister of the 26 country administration, to date has already stated that Dessie O'Hare 'is a qualifying prisoner' so the question everyone must ask is 'then if that is the case then why is Dessie still incarcerated?" The spokesperson concluded by saying: "We ask all republicans, socialists and justice groups to help assist Dessie O'Hare to obtain equality, justice and freedom by issuing letters of protest demanding equality and justice for Dessie O'Hare." |
