Danni al memoriale di Patsy O’Hara a Derry

patsy o'hara memorialL’Irish Republican Socialist Party condanna l’attacco contro la targa in memoria di Patsy O’Hara situata in Bishop Street, accaduto intorno alle 3:30 di lunedì mattina.

Martin McMonagle, portavoce dell’IRSP, ha descritto l’attacco come inulile ma sinistro. “Al momento non sappiamo chi abbia eseguito l’attacco contro la targa e vogliamo chiedere a chiunque abbia visto qualcosa nell’area di contattare l’IRSP.

“Questo attacco è stato fatto da codardi coperti dalle tenebre. Prendersela contro una targa in memoria di uno dei nostri hunger strikerè assolutamente deplorevole. Membri del nostro partito hanno parlato con i residenti di Bishop Street e c’è un sentimento di vera rabbia per questo attacco.

“E’ la seconda volta che questa zona ha subito un simile attacco. Lo scorso anno il murales vicino alla targa è stato colpito con della vernice.

Patsy O’Hara era ed è tenuto in massima considerazione dalla gente di Bishop Street e dell’intera città e l’attacco contro questo memoriale è un attacco contro l’intera comunità repubblicana di Derry. Chiunque abbia informazioni può contattare l’IRSP”.

Patsy O’Hara Memorial Attacked

The Irish Republican Socialist Party condemns the attack on the Patsy O’Hara memorial in Bishop Street which occurred we believe on Monday morning at or around 3.30am.

IRSP spokesperson Martin McMonagle described the attack as pointless but sinister. “Presently we do not know who carried out the attack on the memorial and we would appeal for anyone who seen anyone in that area at that time to get in touch with the IRSP.

“This attack was carried out by cowards under the cover of darkness. To attack a memorial to one of our hunger strikers is absolutely deplorable. Members of our party have already spoken to residents in Bishop Street and there is a very real feeling of anger at this attack on the memorial.

“This is the second time that this area has come under similar attack. Last year the accompanying mural nearby was paint bombed.

Patsy O’Hara was and is held in the highest regard by the people of Bishop Street and the entire city and as such we would view this attack on the memorial as an attack on the entire republican community of Derry. Anyone with any information can contact the IRSP.”
