PUT UP OR SHUT UP
STATEMENT
DERRY 32CSM
11/5/09

32 County Sovereignty Movement in Derry City refute the ridiculous accusations that Republicans are drug dealers and criminals, this is the age old tactic used by the Crown Forces throughout the years.

Republicans have been at the forefront in the fight against the drug menace in the working class communities of Derry City.

We challenge Martin Mc Guinness to come forward with any evidence that connects Republicans in this town with the drug trade.

These absurd claims are further proved to be false by the fact that there have been no arrests despite this so called evidence. Martin Mc Guinness as a minister of her majesty’s government is duty bound to inform his colleagues in the RUC/PSNI instead of creating sensationalist headlines in the front page of the Derry Journal.

It is blatantly obvious that no such evidence exists and the people of Derry will not be fooled by this type of political opportunism which smacks of desperation from a man whose credentials within Republicanism are in tatters.

Recent attacks on the homes and property belonging to members of the Provisional’s have nothing whatsoever to do with the Republican Movement and are wrong and counterproductive. We are of the opinion that they are a part of some sort of dirty tricks campaign in operation designed to discredit Republicans.

This British inspired black propaganda will not deflect Republicans from continuing to work with those within the communities who seek our help on issues were they have been abandoned by the Provisional Movement. We will continue to highlight injustices caused by British Rule in Ireland in spite of these types of baseless allegations and smokescreens created by those who are now part of the British establishment.

Attacks continue on 32CSM members in Britain

The 32CSM are urging their members in Britain to be cautious following the latest in a litany of attacks on members from the North West. An activist from the 32CSM in Liverpool was attacked in his home on Sunday night and received a brutal beating. This is not the first time this man has been the victim of such attacks, indeed three years ago he received a serious head injury after being attacked with a hammer by the same elements. This Republican activist has recently organised meetings to discuss the plight of the POW’s and is a valued member of the Gaughan/Stagg cumann in Britain.
CCTV mounted at this activists home, following earlier attacks on his property and person has revealed his attackers to be notorious right wing loyalist sympathisers from the Merseyside area, the same element that has been involved in many attacks against Republicans and Anti Fascists in the North West. It is our opinion that these attackers are , if not being given the nod from the police in Merseyside and Greater Manchester, then at the very least their activities are being ignored, when this member was attacked with a hammer he was charged with assault, presumably for attacking a hammer with his head.
The 32CSM continues to grow in Britain and it is this very growth that has prompted these reactionary elements, both inside and outside the establishment, to increase their activities against the Republican movement.
Finally we wish a speedy recovery to our member and wish him and his family all the best, we assure our membership in Britain that we are behind them all the way.
