Dublin - Event Notice Thursday January 01 1970 Save Brendan Lillis' Protest![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
As it stands, Mr Ford has again denied releasing Brendan Lillis on compassionate grounds. Brendan Lillis’ is suffering with a debilitation illness and is imprisoned without crime and without trial. This is a gross miscarriage of justice and in no way represents an Ireland of justice and equality. David Ford has made an incorrect assumption based on an outdated medical report written over six months ago that Brendan does not fit the criteria for release on compassionate grounds, even though Mr Ford was presented yesterday with an updated report from two days ago, by Brendan’s partner Roisin, by the Irish United Nations Association. The Irish United Nations Association report states that: “Mr Lillis’s condition gives cause for very serious concern, I believe that he will die in Maghaberry prison because he is suffering from the advanced form of his condition which requires specialist attention for long periods. The man was over six feet tall, is now under six stone and is drifting in and out of consciences. His tangible abilities are accordingly severely compromised, his medication also contributes to his medical confusion. He quite clearly poses no risk to others as he himself is at imminent risk of death in his place of detention.” Brendan’s spine has fused together and he remains bed ridden with his eyesight failing alone in a dark prison cell. His condition to life is quickly deteriorating and time is running out fast, Brendan is dying. The “Save Brendan Lillis’ Dublin Campaign” call on all the wider public to show their support for this humanitarian drive and demand the release of Brendan Lillis on compassionate grounds! |
