On Tuesday the Vol.Charles Carrigan Cumann of the 32csm held the now regular POW picket at Celtic park, the focus of the picket was the unconditional release of Irish men and women who are currently behind British and Irish Freestate bars.
The conditions these men and women are in and the reasons why they are currently being held was conveyed to the football fans, the cumann has noted that a large portion of the support use the regular picket to find out up-to-date information on Republicans, many keen to know when upcoming trials are due to take place or how recent trips to court went.
The brutality of the court trips, lack of speedy and fair trials in both the 6 and 26 counties and the prison conditions are always in the minds of the sympathetic and are the most common questions posed.
The cumann are very happy to answer these questions as we know due to blanket media bans and agenda based censorship the information is not freely available.
Also this week a number of unidentified Irish Republican Supporters have been arrested and detained with the police using draconian terrorism legislation to hold, this unjust act of victimization was another focus point / picket venue for the 32csm Scotland. We have attended the holding police station in Govan on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and earlier today, standing along side us were our comrades in IRSP ALBA, Cumann na saoirse Alba and Independent republicans, All concerned for the people who have been under lock and key for days for being "sympathetic"
"IF IT CAN HAPPEN TO THEM, IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU!!!"
We used this situation of arrest to highlight POWs throughout the world as part of the International day of solidarity with Irish Republican pows, leaflets drafted for the day were handed out at the police station and in Glasgow city centre. Our pickets in Glasgow coincided with a picket held by our 32csm comrades in Manchester with further pickets in London, Belfast, Dublin, Drogheda, Wexford, Paris, Rome, Utrecht, Hamburg, Darmstadt, Sydney, Melbourne and two in the USA - New Mexico and New York.
This is the 2nd year the cumann have been involved in this international show of solidarity!
We ask all Republicans and concerned activists to join us at the police station and call for the release of the arrested!
