US Peace Veterans Granted Bail in Dublin

 
KEN and TARAK were in court this morning in Cloverhill, Dublin.  They were given bail (own bond each €2500) and will be released later today from Limerick prison to the house of a named Limerick supporter.  
 
They must stay away from airports (especially Shannon) and surrender their passports.  They had good ood support in the small, crowded court room and were represented by a solicitor and 2 barristers'
 
They looked well behind the glass but were not allowed to speak.  How long they will remain in Ireland is an unknown.
 
Their next appearance in court will be 3 April.
 
Last night there was a vigil of support for the 2 peace veterans outside Limerick prison where they have been incarcerated since 17 March.
 
In the court today the US organisation Veterans for Peace were praised by a defending barrister. 
Tarak and Ken are members of Veterans for Peace

UPDATE:  They're out!

Having been in the custody of the State since17 March Ken and Tarak were finally released on bail on Friday morning 29 March. 

Now they are guests of the nation and will be hosted by Irish families until they are free to return to their homes in the US.

Welcome to freedom Tarak and Ken!
