Marty thanks Anthony has my email address Can u email him how i order the book (i will get fam member to get it for me and post over here) Anthony u can give Marty my email address if u want Grma

NB A note to Irish OUTSIDE of Ireland - Re situation re Marion Price and others... Consider marching on Paddys Day with a huge placard/poster highlighting human rights abuse/political policing etc. It won't make u popular on the day (they may ask u to step out of the parade but that's aok just march along the streets with it) It surely will give voice to the truth. Tip Unveil placard after parade starts & ensure u are right in the middle of the parade.

How come those people who love to be seen and heard suddenly go of scene when asked a question that they would rather was not asked.I refer here to Paul Maskey qsf mp mla and Martina Anderson qsf mla ,and the question was simply what are they doing re the continuing internment and deteriorating health of Marian Price,and while we are on the subject of silence,I see that Catherine Mc Cartney sister of Robert Mc Cartney murdered by ra and qsf members has called on Deirde Hargey qsf buddie of messers Robinson and Mc Guinness,to put qsf,s call for the public to cooperate with the police into practice, the bold Deirde was one of the hundreds in the toilet in Magennis,s bar the night Robert was murdered, qsf have been very vociferous in calling for people to tout on criminal activity,so one can expect that Deirde and the other witnesses to this horrific murder will be soon be visiting her local ruc/psni station to spill the beans, not a mission I bet. sort of makes qsf look like a bunch of hypocrites dont you think...

2012-02-09T14:39:56.354Z

Great Craic; page 13 lucky for some of todays Irish News aka the Vatican Times,headline;Sinn Fein MLA defends Paisley prayer plea. We are shown some of the responses to Martina (I,m a model,Bread fans will understand)Andersons facebook plea for prayers for that hopefully dying git.Responses range from "are you for real",to "aint gonna happen" Anderson is more concerned for the well being of a scumbag who is probably responsible for more deaths here than anyone else, than for an innocent former comrade interned in her masters gaol Maghaberry,if she feels the need to pray she should pray for Marian Price who by all accounts is suffering both physically and mentally instead of that waster, but mind you Pappa Doc was probably the main man who helped put her and her cronies on to the gravy train.

2012-02-09T09:03:01.328Z

Blackwatertown,

'recoil' would be too strong a term. I would have few doubts about the inhumanity and brutality of the Stalinist system. Yet there is a propagandist way to describe that system and a more grounded way. The difference might come down to tone.

Marty,

2012-02-08T23:40:19.654Z

Child 44 is good. I agree with you about the initial recoiling from over-the-top criticism of the Soviet state - but you read something like, in my case, Stalin and his Hangmen by Donald Rayfield, and the scales fall from your eyes.

2012-02-08T13:41:19.287Z

Marty,

it is a humanitarian issue but we should not lose sight of the fact that behind the British inhumane treatment of Marian is a very political motive. They are targetting her for political reasons. So much for political policing being a thing of the past.

Simon,
No luck,Easons and Waterstones in Cork never even heard of it and it didn't show up on their computers. They said it might be privately published. I would agree with you though, that there was a low print run.

2012-02-07T22:54:26.535Z

JUSTICE for Marian Price
Marian Price is spending her ninth month in isolation in an all male prison(Maghaberry).She is the victim of internment without trial.psychological torture and political vindictiveness.
Marian was twice granted bail on charges brought against her yet remains interned at the whim of sos Owen Patterson,a man with no mandate here and unaccountable to the people here.
It is claimed that Marian Price was returned to prison on the revocation of a licence,however this licence was over ridden when Marian was pardoned under the royal prerogative of mercy due to serious ill health shortly after her release in 1980.
The british authorities have recently admitted to shredding this pardon,a document Marian,s solicitor is confident would secure her release,why shred a document of such significance?.
Marian Price is 57 years old and has multiple illnesses which are exacerbated by the torture of isolation.the sharp deterioration in Marians health is causing her family major concern.
Juan Mendez the UN,s leading expert on torture advises"short time isolation is permissible for prisoner protection but all solitary confinement longer than 15 days should be banned"
The reality of this situation is Marian Price is back serving time for offences committed nearly 40 years ago,offences she was pardoned for.
HOW CAN YOU HELP
Contact your local mla,clergy,trade union and human rights groups and ask them to use their influence to encourage a sensible resolution.
THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL ISSUE THIS IS A HUMANITARIAN ISSUE.
