A new member of the 32 County Sovereignty Movement in the North Armagh area was this week visited by the PSNI and warned that he was under threat from "dissident republicans".
This member was formerly a member of another group and it is our belief that this "warning" was fabricated in an attempt by the British police force and intelligence services to sew distrust between republicans in the area.
Republicanism in North Armagh has experienced a growth in recent times especially amongst the youth and it is obvious that the British are not prepared to sit back and watch this happen.
If anyone else from any republican group receives similar threats we would urge them to treat these as highly dubious and to make them public immediately.
We have been assured by the group to which this man formerly belonged that they know of no threat to him and we take their word for it, knowing that no republicans would be stupid enough to play along to the tune of MI5.
Finally the 32 County Sovereignty Movement would call for increased unity amongst all republican groups as incidents such as this could be more quickly resolved and dismissed within such a framework, but most importantly republicanism as a whole could only be strengthened by becoming united on the issues on which we agree.

Aidan Hulme Latest
POSITIVE OUTCOME TO AIDAN HULME CAMPAIGN
The Irish Republican Prisoners Welfare Association (IRPWA)welcome the latest development in the Aidan Hulme campaign whereby the Prison Governor in Portlaoise Gaol has agreed with the prisoners and Aidan that the OC and Adjutant will be allowed access to accompany Aidan when he is visited by a doctor or when visited by the Governor.
Today (15/10/08) such a visit took place and it is confirmed that gangrene is not present in Aidan’s foot rather the symptoms are a result of a severe infection for which Aidan is now being treated.
Staff from the hospital will now visit Aidan to clean the infected areas of his foot and renew dressings to prevent further spread of infection.
An assurance is also given that Aidan will have a consultant assessment before the end of the month and an agreed care plan is being implemented and developed. This will allow for a proper consultant led care management package.
This positive and jointly agreed approach to Aidan’s welfare will ensure early intervention in the event of deterioration and will allow for continuous monitoring of his condition.
The negative effects of the medication will also be closely monitored and with Aidan’s agreement can be reduced depending on his individual needs at any given time.
The IRPWA on behalf of the POW’s would like at this time to thank most sincerely the many people who moved to support Aidan in his time of need and to those who sent greetings.
We would like to extend this thanks to other republican organisations who pledged their support and advice to ensure that Aidan received immediate professional intervention.
Aidan is indeed most grateful for all the support he has received and extends his heartfelt appreciation to everyone involved.
