Dee Fennell with an announcement about Sundays' upcoming anti-internment march. Dee Fennell is a republican and community activist in North Belfast.

I am pleased to confirm the speakers for this year's National Anti-Internment March, organised by the Anti-Internment League.
Our Main Speaker will be Belfast Activist Brenda Downes. Brenda is well known throughout the country as a Republican, Human Rights and Community Activist. This year will mark the 30th Anniversary of her husband John, who was murdered by the RUC with a lethal plastic bullet as he attended an Anti Internment Rally on 12th August 1984, outside Connolly House which is adjacent to this year's march destination at the Busy Bee. Brenda's contribution will be focussed on State Oppression and the need to organise effectively to combat this within our communities.
Also speaking will be Justice Watch Ireland's Packy Carty who will speak on behalf of the Justice for the Craigavon Two Campaign. Packy worked very closely with the late Gerry Conlon in order to highlight the miscarriage of justice that has wrongfully condemned Brendan McConville and John Paul Wootton to decades in prison, and continues to be at the forefront of their campaign to overturn their convictions.
In addition, we will have Palestinian representative Dr Hassan Nowarah, who will update people on "administrative detention" being implemented by the Zionist regime attacking Palestine. Thousands of Palestinians have been taken hostage using this policy, with no trial and/or release date. This will add an international aspect to proceedings that is particularly relevant at present as Gaza is attacked by a terrorist "state".
Assemble: Ardoyne Avenue, Sunday 10th August @ 12.30pm
