Provisionals Not True to the Cause

Editor:
The Irish Freedom Committee joins in the condemnation of those who, in the cold-blooded murder of Joe O'Connor of Ballymurphy, have shattered the lives of his young wife and their three children. Since eyewitnesses have identified the killers as Provisionals, we can only assume that these new Stormont troopers, who are being used to enforce their masters' backing of continued British misrule, are emulating the atrocities perpetuated in their day by the likes of Michael Collins and Eamonn De Valera. We concur in a statement attributed to Marion Price, that these former republicans who have signed on to the Stormont agreement have committed "a blatant and disgraceful sell-out of every principle and belief which genuine republicans hold dearly." Our organization will continue assisting families of unbought republican prisoners who remain true to the only true government of Ireland, that of 1919.

National Chairman of the Irish Freedom Committee,
