The document is a Sinn Féin submission to the Liaison subcommittee on Confidence Building, emphasizing the importance of prisoner releases in the peace process in Northern Ireland. It discusses the historical context of political prisoners, the need for a new agenda of change, and the perceived double standards in the treatment of prisoners by the British government. The submission highlights instances of British government involvement in violence and collusion with loyalist paramilitaries, pointing out disparities in prosecutions and sentences. It argues for the release of all political prisoners as a crucial step towards trust and reconciliation in the peace process, calling for immediate action on various prison-related issues and the release of specific prisoners. The document advocates for the introduction of 16 immediate measures, including improved conditions for prisoners, legal representation at life review board meetings, and greater contact with families.
