Anti Imperialist Action Ireland extends our full solidarity and support to the protesting Republican Prisoners in Maghaberry and Portlaoise Prisons tonight.
Following the refusal of the MI5 led prison regime in Maghaberry to engage with Republican prisoners in relation to a prisoner being placed on the boards, the POWs have again refused to lock up their cells tonight. In Solidarity, their comrades in Portlaoise have joined the protest and also refused to lock up their cells.
All Republicans should speak out and support the Prisoners. It is unacceptable that the British Prison regime is refusing to engage with Republican POWs. This is the third night of protest in Maghaberry and the first in Portlaoise. The Prison Regime should immediately engage with the Republican POWs to find a resolution to these issues.
