32 County Sovereignty Movement

Like Father Like Son
The recent comments by Ian Paisley Jnr concerning his view that republican ‘dissidents’ should be shot on sight represents the Unionist equivalent of Provisional Sinn Fein’s recent calls for informers to be activated against same. In tandem with recent activity by MI5 to recruit agents against Irish republicans and the continuing policy of Internment by Remand it seems a worrying and familiar pattern is re-emerging. A systematic campaign of repression is quickly manifesting itself as the official political response from the teetering Stormont regime to republican separatist activity. No doubt as the crisis deepens within Stormont so too will the oppression escalate.
Since its inception after the Good Friday Agreement the current Partitionist regime has maintained itself on one illusion after another but republican activity has exposed the flaws upon which they were built. Slowly but surely the edifice at Stormont is crumbling under the weight of its inherent contradictions and anti democratic premise. Republicans had warned of this from the beginning that unless the issue of the violation of Irish sovereignty was dealt with as the core cause of the conflict the conflict would continue. Ian Paisley Jnr knows this hence his call for the truth to be shot on sight. The 32 County Sovereignty Movement urges all republican separatists to remain steadfast in their analysis, to remain steadfast in their activity and to remain vigilant for the onslaught which will surely come from the failing entity.

Republican slogans censored by Provisional Movement in Derry
Republicans in Derry were left shocked, angry and disgusted in Derry by the antics of members of the Provisional Movement ahead of the annual Hunger Strike commemoration in the city on Sunday 18th August.
Just prior to the march members of the Provisional movement went along the route of the march painting out slogans in support of the Derry 4 and other political hostages held in Portlaoise gaol under draconian internment legislation. When confronted by members of the public including members of interned Republican Gary Donnelly’s family, the Provos stated that they were merely tidying the area up and that the slogans could be repainted after the march had passed, shortly afterwards a number of members of the Provisional movement returned to stand guard over their handiwork.
The 32 County Sovereignty Movement would ask those involved in this censorship to examine their actions and explain to the Republican community whose agenda was served censoring Republicans?
We would also ask them under whose authority did they act when removing Republican slogans and by whose authority did they imagine they had the right to tell Republicans when they could replace the slogans.
Finally we would ask them if they see no contradiction in commemorating the men who died behind bars resisting criminalisation, censorship and British rule in Ireland and painting over slogans calling for an end to criminalisation, censorship, internment and British rule in Ireland.
We commend those who confronted the political censors and also those who managed to replace the slogans along other areas of the march route.
End Censorship
End Internment By Remand
