Meeting Announcement • The Framing of Michael McKevitt

THEME: 'The Collusion of MI5, FBI & Gardai in the Framing of Michael McKevitt'

A panel of human rights activists and lawyers will highlight the deliberate framing of Michael McKevitt by MI5, FBI and senior members of the Gardai. Serious questions about the activities of MI5 in Ireland, Senior Garda collusion and a judiciary swayed by political rather than legal argument will be addressed at this forum.

Panel:

  • Chairperson - Ms. Noelle Ryan
  • Monsignor Raymond Murray
  • Father Desmond Wilson
  • Father Joe Mc Veigh
  • Mark Thompson (Relatives For Justice)
  • Claire Reilly (Relatives For Justice)
  • Kevin Winters Human Rights Lawyer


In addition, members of the Sands and McKevitt families will be present. A booklet compiled by Michael's sister-in-law, Marcella Sands, will be available after the forum.
