Marian Price Fails To Get Charges Dropped
Republican Marian Price has been refused an attempt to have a prosecution against her thrown out of a L’Derry court due to undue delay.
District Judge Barney McElholm made the decision after finding no evidence of abuse of process.
She is due to appear in court on 21 November.
Price, whose legal name is Marian McGlinchey, is charged with addressing a meeting with the intention of promoting support for a proscribed, terrorist organisation in the City cemetery on April 25, 2011.
At the meeting, Ms Price was filmed and seen to be holding a piece of paper for a masked man who issued threats to Catholic police officers.
Now, the 58-year-old remains in hospital falling a sharp deterioration in her physical and mental well-being.
When she initially appeared in court in May 2011 she was released on bail by District Judge Barney McElholm.
But then Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Owen Paterson revoked her licence and she was sent to Hydebank Wood prison.
Her solicitor Peter Corrigan told the judge his client had been deemed unfit to stand trial by two prison doctors and a United Nations doctor.
Prosecution barrister Terence Mooney QC then said there was no independent medical evidence of Marian Price’s health before the court.
Judge McElholm said he found no evidence of an abuse of process.
He fixed a preliminary inquiry date for Ms McGlinchey's next court appearance for 21 November.
