Sinn Fein/IRA supporting terrorists the world over
28 September 2006
DUP Member of the European Parliament, Jim Allister QC has accused Sinn Fein/IRA of being in hoc with terrorists throughout the world and being totally unsuitable for a position in the government of Northern Ireland. The DUP MEP was speaking in response to Sinn Fein/IRA MEP Barbara de Brun's call for the release of a Basque terrorist involved in the deaths of 25 people. Inaki de Juana has been on hunger strike since August in an attempt to force the Spanish government to grant his release.
Jim Allister said:
“Following on the back of Gerry Adams recent pilgrimage to meet the crazed, murderous and anti-Semitic Hamas organisation in Palestine, we now have Barbara de Brun calling for the release from prison of a man who has the blood of 25 innocent people on his hands show just how unsuitable for government Sinn Fein/IRA really is. Reading the statement issued in Ms. de Brun’s name there was noticeably no mention at all of what Mr. de Juana was imprisoned for in the first place. I wonder why? Could it be that decent people at home in Northern Ireland, regardless of their political beliefs, would be utterly disgusted that one of their MEPs would be campaigning on behalf of such an individual in Brussels? Such behaviour is a gross embarrassment for Northern Ireland in Europe, not least in a week when there was an exhibition in the European Parliament illustrating the depravity of the ETA campaign.
Innocent victims of terrorist violence in Northern Ireland are well used to the weasel words of Sinn Fein/IRA and their disgusting attempts to rationalise the evil campaign of the IRA. At a time when the Secretary of State is trying to persuade the Unionist community to jump into government with Sinn Fein/IRA at the earliest opportunity, comments such as those from de Brun demonstrate just how unready for government Sinn Fein/IRA is.”
