Vol. Billy Reid March Glasgow

The 32CSM was present at the WoSBA Volunteer Billy Reid March in Glasgow on Saturday 15th of May. Members of the Vol Charles Carrigan Cumann and the Gaughan/Stagg Cumann were there to support the commemoration of a brave volunteer who gave his life in the struggle for Irish freedom as well as to highlight the injustices, inhumane conditions and sheer brutality currently being endured by todays Irish Republicans, gaoled by the British as POWs and political prisoners, in Maghaberry Gaol.


Our message of solidarity, displayed by 32CSM members holding posters, with the prisoners and our demand for the restoration of political staus for all Irish political prisoners was warmly met by all those attending the days commemoration and march.


All copies of the Sovereign Nation were quickly distributed, demonstrating again that the voice of genuine republicanism has a growing audience in Scotland.


The 32CSM in Scotland will continue at every opportunity to campaign for the restoration of political status and to develop solidarity with those who languish in a British gaol in occupied Ireland. We are confident that support for the demands and with Irish political prisoners will continue to grow.

The Republican Voice

Members of both the Vol Charles Carrigan Cumann and the Gaughan/Stagg Cumann successfully distributed the Sovereign Nation at Celtic Park with our members reporting all copies taken by interested fans, literally minutes of the start of the distribution. The overwhelmingly enthusiastic response from fans confirmed the hunger that exists amongst the republican base for genuine republicanism and the degree of support that exists for the 32CSM and Irish resistance to Britain's illegal hold over part of Ireland.

Despite the attempts by Strathclyde Police to stop our members distributing the Sovereign Nation and the threat of arrest, including the spurious assertion made by one policeman to one of our members that he would be arrested if he was seen again distributing an "illegal paper", our members would not be intimidated and continued to distribute the Sovereign Nation.


We believe the appetite for the genuine republican voice in Scotland meant we could have distributed three or four times as many papers and our members will be continue to distribute the Sovereign Nation at Celtic Park and in Glasgow's East End in future.

Getting The Republican Message Out

The 32CSM in Scotland commend the people who postered an area of Glasgow recently and showed that the Republican spirit of resistance, despite Sinn Feins continued retreat into reformist constitutional nationalism, continues to burn in the city.

British Army On Derry Streets 2010

A specialist British army unit took part in a raid on a flat in the Creggan area of Derry last week, the 'Journal' has learned.


The raid took place on Wednesday at a flat in High Park where a member of the 32 County Sovereignty Movement (32CSM) was staying.

It is believed to be the first time that British military personnel have been involved in a house search in Derry in recent years.

The search on the flat lasted for several hours and those involved wore white overalls and face masks. The PSNI said the search was part of an "ongoing investigation into criminal activity".

A document given to the 32 CSM member by the PSNI during the search lists who was present during the search operation and includes the names of three British soldiers, a sergeant, lance corporal, and a sapper, who are described as being members of a "military search troop", based at Aldergrove.

The document, which the 'Journal' has seen, also lists PSNI officers and crime scene investigators and an individual described with the acronym, "MCFA".

A spokesperson for the British Army said he could not comment on whether troops took part in last week's raid but added that the PSNI can request "specialist" assistance."It is for the police to request specialist support. They would request specific capacity and we have that resource that they can call upon. That is the norm across the UK," the spokesperson explained.

The British army's 38-year mission in the North, 'Operation Banner', ended in July 2007 and troops, with the exception of bomb disposal experts, are no longer seen on the streets.

The 32CSM in Derry said they had previously suspected that undercover British army units were operating in republican areas. A spokesperson for the group said; "This confirms what republicans knew already; that the British army are involved in undercover operations in Derry. We now have documented proof of that.

"Here we have British soldiers harassing people and raiding houses in Creggan, just as they did in the 70s, 80s, and 90s."

A spokesperson for the PSNI said she could not comment on "operational matters.

British soldiers regularly raided homes in Creggan and other nationalist areas of Derry during the Troubles.

1916 Commemorated

Cork




Derry



Members of the Volunteer Charles Carrigan Cumann recently attended 32CSM Easter Commemorations in Cork and Derry along with the James Larkin RFB. This trip has been very beneficial to our members and supporters in the cumann and the RFB and especially for our younger members has been a great education in Republicanism. We returned to Scotland even more determined to continue our work in developing Republicanism in our communities and across Scotland.


We would like to thank our comrades in Cork and Derry for their kind hospitality during our stay and we are happy to have strengthened our bonds of friendship and comradeship.
