Mike Farrell and Tony Canavin of Belfast Peoples Democracy are still in good spirits despite being kept in a basement cellfor 23 bourseach day in Crumin Road jail. At any time they are likely to be placed amongst the loyalist prisoners, who have kept up: constant barrage of threats against their lives. The Governor has told Mike and Tony that they will only be placed in protective custody after they are attacked; they have been re fused political prisoner status because their sentences do not exceed nine months, There must be an urgent campaign on behalf of Mike and Tony, to obtain their release, At the same time pressure must be applied to get political status for them pending their release, so that they can be placed with the Republican prisoners, and their safety ensured. The Anti-Interument League has launched a petition directed at the Parlamentary Labour Party; a picket was also beld last Saturday, supported by members of London PD, IMG, and Workers Fight.
