The Five Demands

Sabato notte la sede del Sinn Fein di Derry è stata colpita da un attacco incendiario.
Paul Fleming, del Sinn Fein, ha dichiarato: “Se i responsabili di questo attacco pensano di aver messo a segno un colpo per la libertà irlandese, allora sono degli illusi”.
“Le uniche cose che sono riusciti a distruggere la notte scorsa sono: l’iconica dell’annuncio della vittoria elettorale di Bobby Sands, ritratti degli hunger strikers ed altre memorie repubblicane.”
“Non è una coincidenza che questo attacco sia stato effettuato durante la notte di sabato,  con la speranza di disturbare la commemorazione nella  domenica di Pasqua del sacrificio pagato dai nostri patrioti defunti.”

An office used by Sinn Fein in Londonderry has been damaged in an arson attack.
Sometime between Saturday night and Sunday morning a flammable liquid was poured into the office at Rathmore shopping centre and set alight.
There was smoke damage throughout as well as extensive damage to a corridor.
“If those who carried out this attack think they were striking a blow for Irish freedom then they are deluding themselves,” SF’s Paul Fleming said.
The party’s chairman in Derry continued: “The only thing that they succeeded in destroying last night was iconic pictures of Bobby Sands’ election victory announcement, portraits of the hunger strikers and other republican memorabilia.
“It is no coincidence that this attack was carried out on Easter Saturday night with the hope that it would disrupt Sunday’s commemoration of the sacrifice paid by our patriot dead.”
