Free Our Prisoners

Extramural Activity1 Comment

“In memory of our freedom fighters who fought and died for Ulster. It was not for glory they fought nor honour or riches but freedom alone which no good man should lose but with his life.” A three-panel UFF mural in Linfield Road. A scroll with four emblems (UDA, UYM, UFF and Ulster banner); flags of the UDA and Scotland with manacled red fists and an outline of Northern Ireland superimposed with the Ulster banner, between emblems of the LPA and another prisoners’ organisation; a kneeling volunteer from A battalion, south Belfast’s Sandy Row.

The Place That Time Forgot

Harryville is an area of Ballymena with a small Catholic population which needed police protection to attend mass. The Independent called it “the town where hatred burns stronger than hope“. With “No RUC”, “No watch towers”, “Free Róisín McAliskey“, and a green ribbon for the campaign to free POWs.

Bloody Sunday 97/Róısín McAliskey

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

Stencils in Lecky Road, Derry. Above, a giant eye for the 25th anniversary of Bloody Sunday. Below, “Free Róısín McAliskey”. McAliskey (daughter of Bernadette Devlin McAliskey) was arrested in 1996 in connection with an attack on a British Army base in Germany and held until March 1998. The “No RUC” features a skeleton and appears to be hand-drawn.
