Victims Lay Poppy Crosses at Stormont in Memory of Fallen RUC Officers
The photograph below was taken at Stormont and the event was to represent the number of RUC officers killed in Northern Ireland as the result of terrorism. It was inncoent victims from FAIR and other groups who went up and laid the poppy crosses. From that day to this, no politicians has made any reference to the act of remembrance. No gesture towards innocent victims has been made!

The Quinns and Mr Paisley - The Truth of Dr Paisley's Role in South Armagh
Its with amazement that we hear that Dr Paisley is going to meet with the Quinn family - not that they aren't entitled to meet him; but let's recall a few facts: A UDR man that was killed 1/2 mile away from Cullyhanna, the IRA had been trying to catch him for a number of months and he knew he was going to be killed as a lot of his colleagues had already been murdered. The only thing he asked of Dr Paisley was that he say a prayer at his funeral. In the homes of his colleagues, Dr Paisley had told all the families to stand firm and that he would leave no stone un-turned until the killers of their loved ones were brought to Justice.
Now lets look at what he did actually do:
After a continuing campaign of genocide in South Armagh, these terrorists with the help and only with the help of Dr Paisley are now sitting in our government. So we would give a word of caution to the Quinn family, be careful what you ask for. Seeking help from Dr Paisley, for you, could end up in the awful situation of having the killers of your son as your local representative in charge of your son's murder investigation.
What happened in South Armagh has been going on for 30 years. I really do feel sorry for the Quinn family, but unlike now I did not hear any words coming from that area condemning the IRA for the evil act's that they carried out against the Protestant community. Perhaps if we had, the IRA could not have carried out the Campaign they did. Now is the time for the Roman Catholic community in that area to put that right by telling what they know. The Quinn family deserve justice but so do the hundreds of innocent victims in South Armagh, who were murdered by the same people from the same community.

BP Refuse To Tackle Libya Over Helping IRA
Victims have contacted BP oil to ask them to apply pressure on Libya over helping to fund and supply weaponry to the IRA. BP firstly refused to accept a letter stating the victim's case, but after the intervention of Lord Laird, they accepted the letter. Since this submission we have received a reply from Peter Mather, BP, Head of Country, UK. In the letter he states that "At BP we never have, nor ever will condone acts of terrorism, wherever they might be carried out in the world." He goes on to state that "We also believe strongly in the role of business to forge links and across divides. A common business agenda is often the best contribution to bringing previously-excluded nations back into the international community. Both Libya and Northern Ireland are in the process of moving on, and we welcome the progress made in both countries." This letter was written to the victims from BP p.l.c., 1 St James Square, London, SW1Y 4PD. It is extremely unfortunate that BP has opted to opt-out on the issue of helping the victims and we believe that their outlook on business "being the best contribution" is an outlook that is very sad indeed. This implies that oil is much more valued than blood being spilt. We as victims cannot as BP put it "move on" until the truth is told about what has taken place during 35 years of terrorism. We have a right to know the truth and perpetrators of terrorism and their accomplices should be held accountable. Otherwise what is to stop them doing the same again? We would ask BP to reconsider their position on this matter as a matter of urgency.

If Britain's Enemy, You Can Be Bought... If Britain's Friend, You WILL Be Sold!
A meeting has taken place with British government representatives regarding the ongoing Libyan legal case. Firstly the meeting should have been with the Secretary of State, but he did not think we were worthy of his time. Secondly, he tried to cancel the meeting completely. Finally the meeting did take place between Paul Goggins, representatives of FAIR, other victims involved in the Libyan case, legal representatives and Geoffrey Donaldson, MP. When we explained our case and why we were suing Libya, it was clear he had already been briefed about the case. Even after listening to the entire case and the stories of some of the victims, he informed us that Libya was now their friend and was helping in the fight against terrorism! The victims asked Mr Goggins, "what about our loved ones who were British citizens and only for Libyas' actions with the IRA, would probably still be alive today?" One victim explained of her mother and father being killed by Semtex provided by Libya and another man who had been seriously effected by a similar bomb and was taking 27 tablets per day to retain any sort of lifestyle at all. The answers that came back to these statements and questions, were repeated time and time again. The answer was that Libya was now their friend and it would look bad for them to get involved in a legal case against them. William Frazer then pointed out that 35 years of terrorism in the UK could not have took place against the British people, without the help of Libya. Thousands were killed and maimed, not only in Northern Ireland, but also on the mainland. They still have an obligation to support what is best for a people who have paid so dearly just to be called British. It is obvious that no matter how much sacrifice the Ulsterman or even the British soldier makes, we are expendible. Britain will look after their own finacial interests before they will look after her people. Shame on them and we intend to tell the world of this disgraceful decision!

We have stated from the beginning of this farce that is called 'peace', that under the current system we cannot have peace. Continually we as victims have been ignored, even though it is plain to see that Republicans are still so active in recruiting, training, funding and even terrorist acts. Ongoing attacks on Protestant homes, intimidation and death threats are still all part of life in South Armagh. A victims campaigner is also receiving death threats on a daily basis. Orange halls are also being asttacked regularly to undermine our culture. As we have stated in recent times and also throughout 35 years of terrorism, all we want is for these Republican gangsters to be brought to justice. When so much is being done to move victims towards reconciliation, it is so difficult given that the same terrorists who damaged our society so greatly are still at large. Worse still, their current terrorist and criminal actions are ignored. It would seem to us that these men are above the law. We demand that their terrorist and criminal activity be stopped immediately. Otherwise how can we ever have true peace! Remember that these are the people that we as victims are being pressurised by the government to sit with. How can we sit with them, when violence and terrorism is still at the heart of their mindset.

Blind Eye Turned To South Armagh Republican Activity!
In the last number of days we have seen much activity by Republicans. The names of those involved in the Quinn killing have been revealed under parliamentary privelege and the presence of senior IRA mens' names on the list certainly comes as no shock whatsoever! The only question is why has the government sheltered and protected these Republican criminals for so long? Their business is well known to the authorities and even the dogs on the street in South Armagh, but whilst we see the A.R.A. moving on small-time South Armagh criminals, we do not see the big chiefs being touched at all. The only exception to the case was Slab Murphys' case, but the government and A.R.A. was forced to act on Slab. We re-ask the question to make ourselves plain, why do the government fail to do anything to stop the actions of these senior Republican criminals? We believe the reason is that the government does nothing is because they believe peace comes at a price and turning a blind eye is for the best! If the government continues to ignore these top Republican criminals, then we will start naming and shaming these criminals. We will state their names and what criminal activity they are involved in, along with details of assets. This will include family members of some of these Republican criminals, who have been laundering money.

MARTIN MEEHAN DIES!
Martin Meehan, the mass murderer has died in the last few days. After years of killing and torture against innocent victims, Meehan now has died himself. Death comes to everyone! For Meehan though, his death marks the end a murderous life, in which he captured and tortured soldiers, lured young soldiers to their deaths and murdered innocent women and children. The law of the land did not catch up with Martin, but ultimately he is now being judged for what he has done during his life. Judgement comes to everyone! During his life he was the organiser of the IRA cell that set up a honey-trap ambush for three young Scottish soldiers in Belfast. These young soldiers were as young as 18 years of age. He was also responsible for the kidnapping and subsequent torture of at least one UDR man. The brutality of this torture outlines just what type of man Meehan was. He also boasted of what things he had done in the name of Republicanism in Castleblaney one evening and even showed the gun he had stolen from the UDR man! Thankfully Meehans' reign of terror has ended as will the reign of other murdering IRA men. We as victims only wish that he had received punishment for his crimes on this side of eternity, but that unfortunately was not to be the case. However we are very sure that he is receiving his punishment now for what he has done.

IRA TERRORISTS STILL ACTIVE IN SOUTH
ARMAGH!
The people who butchered Paul Quinn have committed murder before in South Armagh. These animals have repeatedly demonstrated a lust for blood that knows no boundaries. The Godfathers involved this time sent their sons to commit a vile murder reminiscent of those they committed on the Protestant community over 35 years. This time the Republicans murdered a young Nationalist with whom they were acquainted.
The Republican Godfathers that sanctioned the brutal murder of Paul Quinn must be held to account for this deed. If nothing is done William Frazer has pledged to publicly reveal the names of the Godfathers who sanctioned the murder and indeed the names of their sons who were directly involved.

PERSISTENCE
PAYSLast
year FAIR organised a parade in Dublin to highlight collusion between the
Irish government and the Garda. The parade was composed of victims and was
to be a peaceful demonstration. Unfortunately that parade was not completed
because Republican elements conspired and reaped destruction upon the city.
As the Garda were physically attacked they could not guarantee the safety of
the innocent victims who wished to parade.
FAIR
stated that they would return to Dublin this year in the anticipation of
completing the parade as the issues surrounding collision remained
outstanding.
However
last week the Irish Republic government agreed to meet with FAIR to discuss
the relevant issues.
Following
a full discussion the Irish Republic government have agreed to appoint an
investigator to undertake an investigation to collision and the lack of
security provided to people living in the boarder area.
In
the light of the Irish Republic government's agreement to investigate
victims concerns FAIR has suspended the planned parade pending a successful
outcome.
William Frazer
who lead the FAIR delegation to the meeting stated, "It is unfortunate
that this process has taken so long. We welcome the Irish Republic
government's new found willingness to answer the questions of innocent
victims."
