MAGUIRE PETITION - SUPPORT NEEDED

An online petition has been created calling for the repatriation of
Irishman Noel Maguire, who is being held in a jail in England.

The petition was set up by 'Political Status Ireland' and calls on
the 'Offices of the Irish Minister for Justice' in the Republic of
Ireland to 'Bring Noel Maguire Home'. The petition reads:

"Noel Maguire is an Irish citizen who is being held in an English
prison. He has been the victim of a violent assault where he nearly
lost his life. His family, friends, and loved ones want him repatriated.

The English government have approved this but the Irish government
are delaying the repatriation.

This petition is for his repatriation and for his health, well being,
and human rights."

At the 2007 AGM in Caerdydd/Cardiff, the Celtic League unanimously
passed the following resolution:

"The Celtic League seeks the repatriation of Noel Maguire to a prison
in Éire, in consideration of the physical and psychological stress
that the prisoner has been under over the last year and being the
last of six co-defendants to remain in a prison in England."

The League has campaigned on behalf of Maguire for over a year and
has written a number of letters to both the British and the Irish
authorities campaigning for his release. Letters of support can be
sent to Mr Maguire at the address below and the petition can be signed
by following the link under it.
