NOT SINCE the Gent Jenkins in ordering the deportation of Franco Caprino.
ducat to British Fight On has been active along with its Italian parent organisation in building solidarity with the Irish trangle against British imperialism.
Thit i obwiously why Franco Captino has been singled out und deported-to teach the foreigners a Inson and frighten them off issues such as Ireland When Jenkins introduced les "AntiTerrorium Act, Red Weekly pointed out that its purpose wat far broader chan its tated aims And while Caprino is treatened with deportation under the lingnigration Act (esca the Guardian described this an unprecedented'), there can be little doubt thut the necessary atmosphere of witch-hoot had already been created by the 'anti terrorist" measure Caprina has appealed against the deportation, but since the appeal tribunals we usuaily ayoke, it is unlikely that they will overturn Jenkins" docision. It is vital for all socialist organisations to unite in demanding that the deportation order be overturned, and to prepare effective solidarity with the comrades of Fight On. The refusal of the Workers Revolutionary Party and the International Socialists to respond to our appeal for a united front against the anti-terrorist measures now begins to reap its dividend.
Not sarisfied with uxpelling Capriso as Its good deed for the woek, Jenkins has been up to tarlier antes in relation to the Irish deportacions. The latest case is that of Charles Devine, who was freed from Long Kesh interment comp just before Christmas on condicion Liat he Lett irela i0!
