==================================================

APPEAL AGAINST THE EXTRADITION OF COMRADE SEAN GARLAND,
PRESIDENT OF THE WORKERS' PARTY OF IRELAND

On October 7th, the President of The Workers' Party of
Ireland, Sean Garland, was arrested while attending the
Party annual delegate conference in Belfast. Comrade
Garland has worked for peace and democracy in Ireland for
many decades. He has been a consistent and vocal critic of
the United States' quest for global hegemony. The attack on
Sean Garland is politically motivated, based on
anti-communist propaganda. The Workers' Party of Ireland
will not be intimidated, and calls for the support of other
communist and workers' parties from throughout the world in
the struggle to prevent the extradition of Sean Garland to
the United States

We express solidarity with The Workers' Party of Ireland on
the arrest of their President, and oppose the attempt by
the Bush regime to extradite Comrade Garland to the United
States of America where it is impossible for a socialist to
get a fair trial.
