A new online petition has been set up calling for the release of Irish political activist Stephen Murney, who has been held in Maghaberry Prison in British occupied Ireland since December 2012.
His 'crime'? He used Internet search engines to research the conflict in the Six Counties and as a result his computer contained images of members of the RUC and PSNI, dating back up to forty years. For this act the British police now deem Stephen to have 'collected information likely to be of use to terrorists'!
His 'crime'? He took photos at open, legitimate political protests and commemorations, photos that included members of the PSNI. For this act the British state deem Stephen to have 'collected information likely to be of use to terrorists'!
His 'crime'? He posted photographs of political protests and police harassment of political activists on Facebook and other social media platforms. For this act the British state deem Stephen to have 'distributed information likely to be of use to terrorists'!
His 'crime'? He had trousers, jumpers and berets belonging to a flute band uniform in his house. For this act the British state deem Stephen to 'have articles likely to be of use to terrorists'!
Please sign the petition to have Stephen Murney released immediately and encourage your family, friends, neighbours and workmates to do likewise.
Thanks.
