The 32 County Sovereignty Movement, Ard Chomhairle, and wider membership, would like to express our shock and sadness, upon hearing of the untimely death of Dave Browne.
We extend our heart felt sympathies to Dave's family, and his wide circle of friends across Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales.
Funeral details will follow in due course.
Dave Browne founder member of the 32CSM in England, died on Monday 26 October 2015.
Dave Browne joined the 32CSM from the onset. He like others recognised the path being advocated by the provisional movement would not secure Irish National Sovereignty.
Dave was a tireless advocate for the 32CSM and one of the founder members of the Gaughan Stagg Cumann in England. Dave along with others in Liverpool continued to maintain the name of the James Larkin RFB when others sought to abandon the name. He was a tireless worker highlighting the plight of Irish Republican Prisoners.
In recent years Dave suffered two serious physical attacks from reactionary fascist elements, resulting in very serious injury. The British response was to charge Dave with offences, and denied him medical treatment despite being attacked with a hammer!
Dave went on trial in Liverpool, charged with trumped up offences of assault, the case against him was dismissed. Dave proceeded to admonish the prosecuting solicitor from the dock!
Dave refused to allow these elements to silence him, or his belief that Britain continues to deny the Irish people national sovereignty. He went on to arrange marches and fundraisers in Liverpool, Manchester, London and Wakefield.
Dave was an active Antifacist who stood by the battle cry 'No Pasaran'
We send condolences to his family, friends and comrades.
