Motion passed at Na Fianna Éireann Ard-Fheis, Dublin, June 22 2003

"That this Ard Fheis of Na Fianna Éireann deplores the recent and continuing
censorship of Republican views.

We note in particular the campaign being carried out by the Andersonstown
News against The Blanket website. The Andersonstown News has threatened
legal action against any publication which criticises it and has intimidated
a website and a newspaper which carried the views of Anthony McIntyre, a
Republican ex-POW who disagrees with the Good Friday Agreement and the views
of Provisional Sinn Féin.

Na Fianna Éireann wishes to make known our condemnation of this censorship,
it has no place in the politics of Republicanism. We send our support to
Anthony McIntyre and the Blanket Website and affirm our belief in the right
to free expression among all sections of Republicanism in Ireland".
