32CSM condemn the arrest and subsequent charging of veteran Republican Marian Price.


32CSM condemn the arrest and subsequent charging of veteran Republican Marian Price.

Marian Price, The 32csm National secretary chairperson of the Irish Republican Prisoners Welfare Association was arrested on Friday 13th May and taken to Antrim interogation centre.
She was charged on Sunday with a ridiculous charge linked to her appearance at a 32csm Easter commemoration in which masked members of the IRA were in attendance and an IRA Easter statement was read.
It is quite clear that the RUC/PSNI were told to arrest Miss Price by the hightest level of the British political/Security apparatus and there is no doubt that this arrest and recent arrests of other Republicans are a prime exmple of political policing in advance of the British queen's visit to Ireland.
Republicans must be wary in the coming days as this arrest and these charges set a dangerous precedent and are aimed at disrupting the legitimate political work of our movement.
We will resist all such attempts at criminalisation.
Statement ends
