>>>> Blair visit to DC marked by vigil and fast
During the last month Nationalist communities in the north of
Ireland
have been terrorized by the stepped-up systematic killing spree by
loyalist paramilitary gangs.
In recent weeks, eight innocent people were killed, keeping with
the
loyalist motto "Any Catholic will do."
Gerry Coleman, Director of the Political Education Department for
Irish Northern Aid said "The sectarian slaughter of innocent people
is nothing new. It is a product of an undemocratic and artificial
statelet that must go."
British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, will be visiting Washington, DC
on February 3-5. Beginning at 7:00 p.m. on February 2, Irish
Northern Aid will sponsor a 24-hour vigil and fast outside of the
British Embassy. The vigil will have nationwide participation.
The
final hour will include a Candlelight Remembrance Ceremony while
participants observe a minute of silence for the murdered victims
during this recent phase of the 'peace process.'
It is time for all peoples to recognize the horrors that are
continuing unabated in Ireland. It is time for justice and a
legitimate peace process.
