He became the first of ten Irish republican prisoners to die on hunger strike in 1981. They defeated the British government's criminalisation policy – they were political prisoners. Four decades on, we remember the hunger strikers, the men of the H-Blocks and the women of Armagh, with pride. | Sinn Féin Ireland | Facebook
