ROCK 'N ROLL for IRISH POLITICAL PRISONERS 4/16/05

The Irish Freedom Committee presents--
ROCK 'N ROLL for IRISH POLITICAL PRISONERS
A night of Rock 'N Roll for dependents of Irish Republican Political Prisoners.
----------
There are currently nearly 100 Irish Republican Political Prisoners being held in jails in Ireland and England. Political Status, a right won by the hunger strike deaths of ten Irish Republican POWs in 1981, has been revoked. Republican prisoners are now being classed as criminals, and are being held under some of the most brutal and repressive conditions in Europe including 23-hour lockdowns and strip searches up to 40 times a day.

Through the Irish Freedom Committee’s Direct Support Program©, families of Irish Republican Political Prisoners can receive your badly needed support DIRECTLY, with no expenses retained by the Irish Freedom Committee, and no US laws against proscribed or banned organizations infringed on.

The Irish Freedom Committee is a Nation-wide, Registered Not-for-Profit (IL and MA), wholly U.S.- based organization dedicated to education on the true root causes of the 850-years war against British occupation, and to the humanitarian and charitable support of the dependents of anti-Treaty Irish Republican POWs. We publish news from Occupied Ireland that is ignored or censored by the mainstream press, and we work to expose continuing human rights abuses under British military rule.
