SUPPORT IRISH FREEDOM
THE STRUGGLE IN IREIAND
Since the dismemberment of lreland in l92!, the nationalist peopie
of Northern Ire.land have been subjected to the indignity of second class
citizenship in their own country. Having been denied employment, housing;
and democratic and politica! rights, in l968 they initiated'a peaceful
campaign for civil rights.
Bloody,pogroms, at first perpetrated by_the British backed B-Speciais
and Roya! Ulster Constabulary:, and later by'British troops, who, the worid
was toid, were there to keep'he warring natives apart, were designed
to crush'the civii rights movement, whose very momentum threatened to
undermine British rule.
The defenseless nationa!ists vainly sought the, intervention of the
Dublin government before the Irish Repubiican Army (I.R.A.) came to
their assistance. In i97o, Britain declared:
ile are at war with the
policy: whereby hundreds of innocent men and women were thrown into
concentration camps without the formality of charge or trial,and were
brutaily tortured. To evade the same fate, hundreds of nationalists
went "on the run".
Shortly after, in New York, Irish Northern Aid was formed for the
purpose of raising money for the families of the'internees'and thc.men
cn the run.I.N.A. has'become the biggest and most'effective lrish
