A Missed Opportunity for SegregationA Missed Opportunity for Segregation Liam O Ruairc (IRSP) Republican Sinn Fein organised a meeting late in April at the Conway Mill in Belfast to outline the current situation faced by Republican prisoners in Maghaberry prison, where they are living in constant danger as they are outnumbered by Loyalists intending to kill them. The meeting was well attended by people coming from different political organisations (RSF, 32CSM, IRSP, ORM, Sinn Fein) genuinely concerned about the plight of prisoners, and it was agreed following the intervention of a representative of the IRSP that a new organisation independent of any political group would be set up to campaign on the sole issue of segregation for Republican prisoners. A follow-up of that meeting was organised on 26 May 2002, but came to nothing following the refusal of the Irish Republican Prisoners Welfare Association to participate in a broad front for segregation.

Plastic bullets still killPlastic bullets still kill O'Loan absolves RUC/PSNI BY LAURA FRIEL Plastic bullets maim and kill. The status of the weapons as a 'non lethal' alternative is a myth both in terms of its technological development and deployment history. The guidelines are little more than a smokescreen and in the hands of hostile forces, plastic bullets are often used as an offensive weapon of mass intimidation or as a punitive weapon of arbitrary injury and death.
