Republican POW’s end protest
It is with a sense of relief that the IRPWA can announce that as of today the Republican prisoners E3 Portlaoise have ended their no wash/dirty protest against the politically motivated denial of Temporary Release by the Free State Department of Justice. The protesting prisoners decided to end their protest when Republican prisoners who had previously been denied TR had recently had it granted.
The IRPWA give this change of heart by the Department of Justice and the Irish Prisons Service a cautious welcome and we hope that it is extended to all Republicans prisoners who qualify for Temporary Release and not used as a tool to reward or punish prisoners arbitrarily.
