On behalf of the Irish Republican Socialist Party, may I send
greetings, support, and solidarity to the hunger strikers in Chile in
the protest against the cover up of the bloody crimes of the Pinochet
dictatorship.
In 1981 three of our own comrades, Patsy O'Hara, Kevin Lynch, and Mickey Devine, all Irish National Liberation Army volunteers along with seven comrades from the Irish Republican Army, died on hunger strike in the struggle for the recognition of the political nature of the struggle against British imperialism. We know the courage required to embark on the hunger strike, we know the fortitude required to see it through to the end, and we share the burning sense of injustice that sparks a hunger strike. We know that you have struggled long years for justice. We salute your valour, courage, determination, and thirst for justice.
