The Campaign to Stop the Extradition of Sean Garland to the United States has been formed in response to the extraordinary
arrest of the Workers' Party President at the opening of his party's annual conference in Belfast on 7th October 2005.
It is our intention to build a broad campaign in Ireland and abroad to highlight this blatant injustice and attack on
an Irish citizen and leading socialist, and to ensure that Sean Garland's constitutional and human rights are upheld.
We call on all progressive individuals and organisations to support our campaign on behalf of Sean Garland.
This website will keep you updated on the situation, and on our campaign.
In Memoriam - The Irish Times, Thursday 16th February 2005
In proud and fond memory of Comrade Sean O'Cionnaith member of the Ard Comairle
Workers' Party of Ireland who died on 16th February 2003.
He lived his life with principle and courage, a great humanitarian
who valued life, freedom and justice. To this end, he accepted the view of George Gilmore, Republican Congress, who stated
"The power of the monied interests is the great pressure power on one side. It can only be met effectively by the power
of organised Labour". In three words, The Class Struggle. In his last speech on the eve of the illegal war of aggression
waged against Iraq by the Neo-Nazis who had seized power in Washington, Sean O'Cionnaith stated his life's belief, "Only
one principle will give you courage, that is the principle that no evil lasts forever, nor indeed for very long".
Let us continue his and our struggle to a successful conclusion.
Ní neart go cur le chéile.
Ard Comairle and members of the The Workers' Party.
