A radical Irish republican party backed by New IRA prisoners has been launched. The party will organise demonstrations in support of republican prisoners and campaign for an all-Ireland referendum on Irish unity. It has won the backing of New IRA prisoners at Maghaberry top security prison outside Belfast and other dissident republican inmates. The formation of Saoradh comes three years after the armed wings of dissident republicanism coalesced to form the New IRA. It is the largest, most active dissident republican paramilitary group opposed to the peace process.
