In 1981, Irish republican volunteers in a British jail on Irish soil undertook a fast to the death to retain their status as political prisoners. The British government, led by Margaret Thatcher, demanded they be classified as criminals.
This is the 25th anniversary year of the deaths of these brave rebel patriots. Remember the Ten!
