Free Gerry McGeough!

Dragged away from his wife and children and locked up in Maghaberry, Gerry McGeough has been actively prevented from moving on. When he is released, his future will hang on a thread. He will not be able to pursue his career as a teacher. For the next eighteen years, his freedom of expression can be denied. If he refers to the men and women of 1916 as patriots, the British can interpret that simple phrase as a call to arms, such is the power of the British Viceroy in one of the last colonies of the British Empire. As a gifted political figure, a simple remark, worded in a manner to suit a particular audience, something we all do in our everyday lives, can be enough to have him dragged off to prison. Sinn Féin should now back up their calls for the release of Gerry McGeough by having Martin McGuinness resign as Deputy First Minister unless the Good Friday Agreement and the Weston Park Accord are implemented in full. Robinson did it. Now it's time for McGuinness to do likewise. he is interned the same as marian price In 2012 Gerry McGeough is incarcerated in Maghaberry prison. His family pay the price of a political failure to deal effectively with attempts by Dissident Unionist Politicians and the British Government to dismantle the Good Friday Agreement while carefully fostering inequality and division and thwarting all attempts at moving forward. The British Government are telling us they are in control and will do as they like, regardless of the consequences. This is how the British Government has always treated the Irish Nation. With oppression. It shows the contempt they have towards our people, our politicians and our church leaders who have worked towards peace and reconciliation. It makes a mockery of the recent historic handshake.
