Persecution of the president of the Worker's Party of Ireland Sean Garland


European Parliament Group
Brussels, 11 October 2005


The European Parliament group of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) denounces the illegal arrest - political persecution - of Sean Garland, president of the Workers' Party of Ireland, by the British authorities, on October 8, in Belfast.

The British authorities proceeded to the atrocious arrest operation against the leader of the Workers' Party of Ireland, Sean Garland, in order to start the procedure of his extradition to the United States, by using the false and insubstantial accusation of a "communist conspiracy in order to undermine the American dollar", that the services leak to the press.

This unacceptable and outrageous action of the British authorities and the USA sets sight on Sean Garland and the Workers' Party of Ireland, because they struggle consistently against imperialistic interventions and wars, for Peace and Democracy in Northern Ireland and generally.

This is an atrocious attack against fundamental rights and liberties of all the peoples of Europe. That is why the peoples have to draw conclusions on the real "target" of the "anti-terrorist" laws elaborated by the European Union in co-operation with the USA for the extradition of "suspects".

We express our solidarity and we demand the stop of the persecution of Sean Garland, the leader of the Workers' Party of Ireland.

We demand the rejection of Sean Garland's extradition to the USA.

The fight for Peace, for the defence and the expansion of the peoples' liberties, for peoples' prosperity and Socialism carries on.
