BREAKING: RTÉ spread disinformation on the death of Ali Sohrabi in Castlerea Prison
Ali Sohrabi, a prisoner on remand, died in Castlerea Prison on Thursday 25 June.
Media including RTÉ, the Irish Examiner, the Irish Independent and Midwest Radio have claimed that Sohrabi was “found dead in his cell.”
These reports are untrue. Sohrabi did not die in his cell. He was not found in his cell.
At 7:30pm on Thursday 25 June Martina Burke called Pat McGrath, RTÉ Western Correspondent, to raise this issue. McGrath answered the phone, then immediately hung up when he heard the purpose of the call.
It is unacceptable that these media outlets can make claims which they know are untrue. It is wrong that the public cannot believe what they read or hear on the national media.
We have had to write on numerous occasions to papers such as the Irish Examiner regarding the disinformation they publish on the case of Enoch Burke.
It is also serious to hear the Minister for Arts and Culture Patrick O’Donovan warn of the dangers of disinformation, yet claim that the only reliable sources of news are outlets such as RTÉ.
We would encourage the public to contact RTÉ and enquire why they are spreading this disinformation and giving a false message to the public.
We would also encourage the public to contact Minister Patrick O’Donovan and ask him what steps he will be taking to address the disinformation being spread by the media.

Parts of my hometown that were once completely homogeneous and considered to be the heart of the town, now look like Somalia.
I cannot put into words how disturbing it is to see my community change like this.
In the first three months of 2026, there were 2,460 attacks on women in Ireland.
Every day, 27 women were attacked.
These figures represent an 8% increase on the same period last year.
