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.’

Onore a questi ragazzi irlandesi
