Bring Them Home - Foreign Affairs Protest
The Bring Them Home Campaign is organising a protest outside the Department of Foreign Affairs,
80 St Stephen's Green on
15th March 2003 at 2.30p.m.
The Campaign is calling on Minister for Foreign Affairs Brian Cowen T.D. to protect the rights of Niall Connolly, James Monaghan and Martin McCauley who have been held for 18 months in La Modelo prison, Bogota, Colombia while a farcical legal process is being held.
"We know from our visits that their lives are in constant danger and that their human and legal rights have been ignored continuously. Their Colombian lawyers have said that they can not obtain a fair trial in that country due to the political interference in the case of the Colombian authorities. The men have been moved over a dozen times to seven different locations for their own safety. We have watched while the Colombian State has fabricated a case against these three Irishmen.
The Irish Government has a right and an obligation to intervene to protect these Irish citizens. The trial has been contaminated by the public interventions of senior government officials in Colombia, the men's lives are in constant danger and their right of access to their legal team has been consistently violated" according to campaign spokesperson Caitriona Ruane.
Please Join Our Call on the Irish Government to stand up for the rights of Irish citizens in Colombia.
Dept' Foreign Affairs, 80 St Stephens Green at 2.30 Sat 15th March
