Noel Maguire
Another Miscarriage of
Justice by Corrupt British System
At Noels Trial the Evidence
against him
The prosecution declared today that there was no direct
evidence that any of the three defendants had planted a bomb
Cell site information showed Maguire’s phone had been in
the area of a yard in north London where the taxi used in the BBC bomb was
bought.
His thumbprints were subsequently discovered on one of the
bank notes handed over for the cab.
Result
Noel Maguire was sentenced to 22 years on the flimsiest of
evidence
A knife attack on Noel last year by 2 inmates who have
since been charged with attempted murder is an indication of the seriousness of
the situation
Noel Maguire is
the last remaining Irish political prisoner still incarcerated in an English
jail.
All his co
accused have been repatriated as was their rights as Irish Citizens
Repatriation
The right to be
repatriated to the country of your citizenship to serve a prison sentence on
humanitarian grounds as lay down by the European Directive.
A
report by British Irish Rights Watch Committee on the Administration of Justice
Irish Commission for Prisoners Overseas concluded:
“Prisoners denied a transfer is deprived of contact with their families and
their home communities, lessening their chances of successful reintegration on
their release. However, the people who suffer most from the failure to transfer
prisoners are their families, who are prevented by the long distances involved,
the cost of the journey,
And in some cases poor health, from visiting their relatives. Families
visiting republican prisoners in England have sometimes arrived to find that
their relative has been moved to another prison many miles away without their
having been informed, a practice known as “ghosting”. Relatives have also been
subjected to strip searches and been held under emergency laws when visiting
their loved ones. The UK government has consistently put its own political
agenda before any humanitarian consideration or any notion of respect for
fundamental human rights where the transfer of prisoners is concerned”
Reasons Noel
should be repatriated:
• He is an Irish citizen and holds a valid Irish Passport, issued in Dublin
• He easily qualifies for repatriation under the European directive,
which allows prisoners to be moved back to their own country to
serve their sentence closer to their family for purely humanitarian
reasons. He has not seen his children in 6 Years.
• There was an attempt to murder Noel last year in which he received
serious knife wounds. If left alone and isolated his life would be
constantly under threat!
• His physical and
mental well being is in jeopardy if the Irish
Government refuses him the right to be brought home to serve his
sentence in an Irish Jail

Urgent Appeal
The CGRP call for the immediate repatriation of Noel Maguire.
At this time with so much going on in the Occupied 6 counties it is easy to
forget the injustice being perpetrated against Noel and his family and we ask
that people take a little time to remember Noels plight.
The claim used to turn Noels request down, the grounds that Noel has no close
relatives in the twenty six counties; this is outrageous Noel holds an Irish
passport is an Irish citizen and wishes to be brought home, it was always our
belief that people living in the North of Ireland were able to hold Irish
citizenship which should allow them the fundamental rights of an Irish citizen
Noel is eligible for the transfer under EU legislation.
If Noel was moved from his English prison to any prison in the twenty six
counties it would mean relatives and friends could visit him and the traveling
and expenses would be more manageable. If he is kept in an English jail the
traveling and expense would be a severe burden on Noel and his Family.
A report by British Irish Rights Watch Committee on the Administration of
Justice Irish Commission for Prisoners Overseas concluded:
“Prisoners denied a transfer is deprived of contact with their families and
their home communities, lessening their chances of successful reintegration on
their release. However, the people who suffer most from the failure to transfer
prisoners are their families, who are prevented by the long distances involved,
the cost of the journey,
And in some cases poor health, from visiting their relatives. Families visiting

their loved ones. The UK government has consistently put its own political
agenda before any humanitarian consideration or any notion of respect for
fundamental human rights where the transfer of prisoners is concerned”
Family of Noel has stated that Noel has close relatives living in the twenty six
counties who are willing to visit him.
Noel is now the only Irish republican prisoner still in Britain, This is totally
unacceptable and we call on all Republicans, Nationalists and fair minded people
to contact the man ultimately responsible for Noels well being and who denied
his first request to allow Noel to be transferred to an Irish prison.
The consequences of his refusal to allow this transfer would be to cruel to
imagine for Noel and his family and friends.
He needs all our help!
A cairde
We are urging everyone, friends, members and concerned individuals to assist in
our efforts to continue the pressure on the 26 County Government to Repatriate
Noel Maguire from England to jails in the 26 counties as is his right.

Sample letter
Dear Sir
I write to you on behalf of the Noel Maguire as it concerns his repatriation
back to Ireland from a British jail and your refusal to accept Noels application
thus seemingly stripping him of his Irish Citizenship and the civil rights that
are associated with it.
It is unconscionable that the Irish government continues to refuse to repatriate
Noel. It is claimed that he has no close relatives living in the 26 counties,
this is untrue as Noel's wife and their two children in fact live within an
hour’s drive of Portlaoise Prison in Co Laois and are willing to visit him
should he be repatriated. He also has two sisters and a brother in Ireland.
Noel Maguire - who is from Co Fermanagh but hold a valid 26 County passport more
than qualifies for repatriation on the grounds of the European Directive as an
Irish National.
His mental and physical health must be close to breaking point with the way he
is being unfairly treated these continued delays which are tantamount to
psychological torture.
On humanitarian grounds I ask that the decision to refuse repatriation be
reconsidered and he can return home to serve his sentence and be closer to his
family.
Please act now!
Thank you.
