Madam, - We, the undersigned, wish to register our protest at the imprisonment of our fellow Irish historian, Fintan Lane, and join in the call for his immediate release. Fintan is serving a 60-day sentence for his conscientious refusal to pay a fine arising from his participation in a peaceful protest at Shannon airport against the facilitation of the US military by the Irish Government. - Yours etc.,
