Part One: Remember the 14 Martys and their Equals.

Today we remember the day innocence died in the streets of Derry. Today it is 27 years since those daring raising their voice against internment without trial; systematic gerrymandering to limit the minority’s right to have a say in matters concerning them self and discrimination from the authorities where met with barb wires and bullets. Today is the anniversary for Bloody Sunday, a day that never should be allowed to be forgotten as most European democracies are turning dangerously close to abolish the habeas corpus in the struggle for safety. The “Under Siege” mentality -which usually is to be found in the most hardcore Protestant parts of Belfast- should not be allowed to get a grasp among us, as unarmed 17 year old boys shot in the back way too easy may characterized as a “terrorist” and who’s death saluted as a victory for the democracy. This is the day to remember, not only the 14 men in Derry, but also all of those still in struggle for achieving the same goals as the NICRA and the Republican Movement did fight for in the North.

To those people still in struggle for self-determination and for the rights and natural laws that every humans are in possession of; the Basques, the Palestinians, to the Tamils, the Tibetans and Kurds, and all other peoples fighting repression, occupation and imperialism; Our Day Will Come!
