Negata la visita in carcere alla figlia di Gary Donnelly

Donnelly’s daughter denied visit – claim

Gary DonnellyA daughter of leading Derry republican Gary Donnelly says she hasn’t been allowed to visit her father in prison for almost a month.
17 year-old Megan Donnelly says she has been refused permission to visit her father twice after travelling to Maghaberry Prison where her father is currently serving a seven month sentence for assaulting a PSNI officer.

Ms Donnelly says she wasn’t told that her father had been refused a visit before she made the two-hour journey to the County Antrim jail.

She told the ‘Journal’: “I went up on Wednesday to see my daddy with my sister and I went through all the steps that you have to go through before you get into the visiting area and then I was told he was being refused the visit.

“I had to be fingerprinted three times and go past the sniffer dog and then another prisoner came and told me that he wasn’t being allowed to come down and see me.”

The teenager claims it is the second time her father hasn’t been allowed to see her.

“On that occasion, I was there with my nine year-old sister who took the day off school to go and visit him and we were refused. If it happens again this week, it will be more than a month since we will have seen our father. We get a phone call from him but it isn’t the same as seeing him. It’s like we are being published, too.”

A spokesperson for the 32 County Sovereignty Movement described the situation as “an attack on the prisoners through their loved ones.”
