Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Hmm, this all sounds very worrying. I thought everything in regards prisoners in the north was sorted as part of the peace process. Are not the two governments selling the peace process as a model that can be shipped to Palestine , baque country etc. I would think that the movements there wont be so willing if amnestys and deals are being renaged on. Its funny ya dont hear that much about it on the media, it should be somethin that concerns people interested in justice and peace in the country
IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED IN THE GERRY MCGEOUGH VINCENT MCANESPIE TRIAL
I am being appreciatively inundated with calls and emails from various people around the world, especially since Gerry McGeough’s second heart attack, asking “what can we do to help support Gerry and Vincent at this time”?
In the wake of these calls and emails, I ask you to take the following action:
1) Write letters to your local newspaper (Letters To The Editor)…
objecting to the fact that McGeough and McAnespie have been politically singled out to stand trial on” alleged charges dating back 30 years”. You can go to the “freegerry.com web site for updated information on the case/trail.
2) FILL THE COURT ROOM WITH SUPPORTERS
Gerry McGeough is due back in court on November 1st providing he is medically sound to do so.
3) DEMONSTRATE OUTSIDE THE COURT AS LONG AS THE TRIAL LASTS…
Carry posters that say “FREE GERRY MCGEOUGH AND VINCENT MCANESPIE”. “BRITISH GOVERNMENT RENEGES ON GOOD FRIDAY AGREEMENT”. “STOP THE POLITICALLY MOTIVATED PERSECUTION OF THESE TWO MEN”.
4) CONTACT YOUR LOCAL SWEDISH EMBASSY-RE: GERRY MCGEOUGH POLITICAL ASYLUM APPLICATION PAPERS...
Insist that the Swedish government do two things: 1) make a statement denouncing the use of these asylum papers as evidence against McGeough and in any court against anybody and 2) to swiftly take the required action to have those papers immediately returned to their rightful owner, the Swedish government and don’t allow any Swedish government employee to testify in a Diplock court.
5) CALL, EMAIL, FAX YOUR LOCAL SINN FEIN MP…
Ask them…” what have they been doing to help McGeough and McAnespie since their arrest March 2007”? It appears the one and only comment on their arrest was reported in An Phoblacht.com on March 8, 2007 where MP Michele Gildernew and TD Caoimhghin O Caolain “branded the arrest of Assembly election candidate Gerry McGeough as outrageous”. However, since then, outside of Mr. Halpin's article here, there has been absolutely no further public condemnation of their arrest and 3 ½ year persecution by the Crown?
You can also access information regarding Gerry's case on Facebook: "Justice for Gerry McGeough", "Free Gerry McGeough" and you can send Gerry a message of support on the "Gerry McGeough" facebook site.
THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

This has actually been going on for a quite a few years. There have been a few extradition cases that have been fought in America regarding immigrant Irish living legally and building families and lives in the U.S. and that were fully pardoned under the G.F.A. It seems that with 9/11 and the 'new rules' of the Homeland Security of America and the Terrorist Act of the U.K., apparently they're allowed to disregard the whole Good Friday Agreement and haul pardoned people back in under the new Terrorist rules. It appears that England and the U.S. seem to have a barter system going on that disregards the G.F.A. completely.
As a matter of interest, these are the same new rules that completely disregard privacy laws in the U.S. Constitution and allows wire tapping of Americans. Homeland Security! However, it's completely Legal for the U.S. government to wire tap foreign calls, because technically, well, foreigners don't count.
People should be very angry at this blatant disregard of the Good Friday Agreement. It will do much towards furthering the people's suspicion of Government. If they so blatantly disregard 'local' peace accords, why would anyone trust what they're doing internationally (whether it's the U.K., the Republic, or the U.S.)? And it won't just stop at 'alleged' paramilitaries...the new Terrorist rules allow them to enter anyone's home, regardless of credible threat or not. All that has to be warranted is suspicion.
In America, there's a derogatory term for it, it's called being An Indian Giver. It means, Promising Something and Then Taking It Back Again.
Good luck to these lads...if Government disregards the Peace Accord, you can bet the people will, too, as indicated in the recent resurgence of live bombs, in both the Republic of and the North of...and the Orange hands are getting angry again too. Bad move on the part of Government.
Poor old Gerry McGeough the catholic fascist, say a rosary for him!
What is wrong with people having catholic beliefs?
Most people in Ireland uphold the values of that religion.
Sounds like your the fascist !!!!!
An injustice to one is an injustice to all. The British should not be allowed to renege on the Good Friday Agreement. I wish Gerry and Vincent all the best and any other individual that finds themselves caught up in this mess.
