"For many years in jail my struggle in pursuit of prisoners' rights, and my contact with prisoner support groups on the outside, was described as "subversive" by the prison authorities; now the label "terrorist" is applied and the political atmosphere has hardened to the extent to which my release is currently being opposed on the explicitly stated grounds that I am connected with a "terrorist" group (the ABC.)
"This criminalisation of radical prisoner support activity MUST be resisted and challenged vehemently, and absolutely no quarter given on our right to openly support prisoners in struggle."
