Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8Also, I've been trying to post this story onto the indymedia.org site but without any luck at all. I can't get passed the submit form. Anyone willing to give it a go??
The poor lamb? He's going to lose his leg huh?
I call that poetic justice for all the people who this maniac would have maimed or killed.
So prisoner abuse and neglect is ok? What about Abu Ghraib? Do the genuine 'terrorists' deserve it?
Limb removal as a form of punishment is unaceptable. The authorities have no right to treat a human being like this.
Also, you should bear in mind the track-record of the British police with regard to Irish republicans. Bermingham 6 or the Guilford 4 ring any bells?
Ultimitely, if you think locking someone in a concrete box 24 hours a day while his limb rots off and doing nothing for him bar withdrawing his painkillers is acceptable behaviour, regardless of what he is or isn't in for or whether he's guilty or not guilty, you should seriously take a long look at yourself mate.
has he requested repatriation?, i thought we signed an agreement with other eu countries that made repatriation a right????
That poor man.
He tried to kill people, blow the limbs off the innocent and this is how he is treated? How dare they!
He had no problem been involved with a group who blew limbs of women and children and now he is whining that because he crashed his bike, we should all run out and sign a pointless internet petition?
I think that is what you call karma
He has applied to be repatriated, quite a while ago I believe. The British Home Office had to be hounded into sending all the paperwork but SDLP leader Mark Durkan and others got involved and they eventually got their skates on. Now though, the Department of Justice are stalling - they've had all the relevant paperwork since last September - but haven't processed it yet.
As for the two lads who have decided that this is acceptable treatment - I've tried to deal with points raised, but you've obviously no interest in debating the issue. You're just sad idiot trolls with nothing better to do with your time than take humourless snipes on an internet message board.
The online petition has gone over the 100 mark. Not bad considering it's only been online two days. Thanks to everyone who has signed it.
Regarding email from Mick and company regarding the inhumane treatment of Aiden Hulme while in prison. I think your lack of compassion and reason thereof must be addressed First off lets get some facts straight. The IRA is the only army in the world that calls in warnings in advance in order to eliminate even the most remote possibility of civilian casualty. Do we Americans do the same when it comes to the bombing of Iraq, Iran and Lebanon? DId we issue forth warnings to all the poor individuals murdered by US supported right wing death squads in Central America who went to great lengths to wipe out the best minds in El Salvaor, Nicaragua and Guatemala? Are we proud that all of our actions were done in the name of democracy? I think not. There is no excuse for the denial of medical neglect to any prisoner for any reason. In the case of Aiden Hulme and all the other remaining IRA prisoners, there is no reason for any of them to still be inhumanely lingering in an English jail. Those such as Mick who write with such discompassionate intensity should remember that anyone and I mean even the innocent can wind up behind bars at any given moment, even yourself Mick. I just hope if that is the case that you will never be subjected to the same cruel fate Aiden, Robert, Noel, Michael and Fintan continue to be subjected to, all in the disgraceful name of democracy.
