The vigal was called by the Anti-Interment Committee. They called on all Republican groups, Prisoner support groups, community groups, trade unions, and civil rights groups to attend the vigil. The vigil was well attended by members of the Irish Republican Socialist Party, the 32 County Sovernthy Movement, 1916 Societies, Republican Network for Unity, Cogus, Dublin says No, and independent activists. All these groups came together to highlight the continued lack of human rights by the Irish sate and the British state against Republican activists. Many passer bys stopped to have a look at the vigal and some came over to ask questions about what was going on.

As the economic crisis deepens in Ireland, brutal conditions worsen in it's already overcrowded prisons.

A case that’s need highlighting is the case of Republican prisoner Willy Wong, he is held in Maghaberry Prison in Co Antrim. In March 2010 he was arrested along with another man and charged, eventually convicted of possession of a pipe bomb. He was sentenced very differently to the way Republican prisoners (and social prisoners) usually get sentenced. He was sentenced for an undetermined period, but after 5 years inprisoned it would be up to the Parole board when he is to be released.
