News of the World `beneath contempt'
Friends and family of Mairead Farrell are disgusted and furious
at the totally unfounded allegations printed in the latest SAS
tell tale book `Violent Delights'. In the book an ex-SAS officer
claims he had a personal relationship with Mairead Farrell, who
was one of three unarmed IRA Volunteers gunned down in Gibraltar
in 1988.
Friends of Mairead are calling on people to boycott the News of
the World. The London-based Sunday tabloid is publishing extracts
from the book which have been described as ``slanderous claptrap''
by one personal friend of Mairead's. She added ``we are organising
in defence of Mairead's memory because we knew her and respected
her very deeply. All of this is in this man's sordid imagination
and is a typically revolting attempt by this gutter rag to sell
more papers. There is no way people will believe him. Just the
same, we want people who come from the same community in which
Mairead was held in such high regard to stop buying this paper as
a form of protest, and out of this respect for this woman and her
family, who must have been terribly hurt by this disgusting
story''.
