Fuascailt picket Downing Street
Fuascailt, the Irish Political Prisoners Campaign, staged a
high-profile picket outside 10 Downing Street on 3 August to
demand the immediate release of all Irish political prisoners as
a ``confidence-building measure to underpin the histroic IRA
cessation of July 1997.''
Highlighting the atrocious jail conditions under which some
prisoners have been held after the 1994 cessation, a spokesman
for the group stressed there should be phased release of
prisoners if the British government is to show it is serious
about securing a lasting peace settlement.
