REPUBLICAN NETWORK FOR UNITY (RNU) Spokesperson MARTIN ÓG MEEHAN has welcomed the release of political Internee, Brendan Lillis.

REPUBLICAN NETWORK FOR UNITY (RNU) Spokesperson MARTIN ÓG MEEHAN has welcomed the release of political Internee, Brendan Lillis.

Mr Meehan said; ‘RNU is pleased that the Stormont Government and David Ford have finally seen sense and freed Brendan.

However, we are very conscious that Martin Corey and Marian Price remain unjustly interned in Maghaberry Gaol at the behest of British Intelligence and the RUC/PSNI. Gerry McGeough is also wrongly incarcerated. Our Network reiterates the demand that these three Republican Prisoners also be released.

The Republican Network for Unity is also mindful that Political Prisoners continue to suffer terrible conditions because of the the failure of Stormont to instigate last August’s Maghaberry Agreement’.

Mr Meehan concluded; ‘RNU send our best wishes to Brendan and his partner, Roisin. Their struggle was our struggle and they both have been vindicated. Irish Republicans must remain united and ensure the Maghaberry Agreement is now implemented in full’.
