Bobby Sands was only 27 years old when he died while on hunger strike in the H blocks of Long Kesh prison in May 1981. In 1972, after a hunger strike by Republicans in a Belfast jail, political prisoners were held under a ‘special category status.’ However, that soon changed. In 1976, the british government introduced legislation as part of their efforts to depict the IRA as a ‘criminal conspiracy,’ which classified all prisoners arrested after 1 March 1976, as ‘criminals.’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Comunque cari amici radicali chi crede veramente in qualcosa si lascia morire di fame sul serio piuttosto che mollare.
