His brother Issac Burke posted a video to social media, explaining that his brother had been moved on Sunday where he was given a job “in the kitchen”.A long statement posted to the Enoch Burke X account read: “Teacher Enoch Burke thrown into prison van and moved suddenly to Castlerea Prison.“On Sunday morning teacher Enoch Burke was told to gather his belongings and bring them to a prison van. He was then put into the van and brought on a two-and-a-half-hour journey to a new location, Castlerea Prison.“At no point was he told where he was being brought, or for what reason. Upon arrival in Castlerea Prison he was consigned to a filthy committal landing. Prison authorities told him he was being given a job ‘in the kitchen.’“Enoch Burke has a job. He is a teacher of German and History at Wilson’s Hospital School. He was taken from that job in 2022 and thrown into a prison cell by corrupt judges after he refused to endorse transgender ideology. His incarceration is an abomination.”In a statement to the Irish Mirror, a spokesperson for the Irish Prison Service said: “The Irish Prison Service does not comment on operational matters.”Want to see more of the stories you love from the Irish Mirror?
