“The Guilford 4, the Birmingham 6, now the Craigavon 2”. “There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.”
The Birmingham 6 were sentenced to life sentences in August, 1975, but their convictions were deemed unsafe in 1991. The Guilford 4 were sentenced in October, 1975, but their convictions were deemed unsafe in 1989. The Craigavon 2 – John-Paul Wootton and Brendan McConville – were sentenced in 2012 to terms of 18 and 25 years, respectively, for the murder of PSNI Constable Steven Carroll; their appeals so far have been thrown out (Hearty 2015 pdf).
Free Derry Corner, Derry (Visual History). The simple graffiti is in Bishop Street; the other pieces are in the Brandywell.
