The internment of hundreds of Irish citizens during the 1970s and the treatment of political prisoners are but a few examples of the many instances in which civil rights have been short circuited. The events which led up to the violence of 1 month ago are a perfect example. Mr. Martin Galvin. an American. was arbitrarily denied a visa to lead the group of Americans on a tour of the conditions in Northern Ireland. I believe this was a further example of the British Government seeking to suppress an open and free dialog on the issue of Northern Ireland among concerned individuals and organizations from the United States. Had this vias been granted and this free dialog permitted. this terrible violence and death of one young man would have been avoided.
