Martin Corey was found guilty of the murder of two policemen in 1973 and released in 1992. As noted in the tarp — “interned in Maghaberry prison since April 2010” — he was returned to prison in 2010, and a 2011 commission ruled that he was a member of the CIRA (WP). An appeal – on the grounds that evidence had been withheld – was rejected in December, 2012. The campaign for his release continues in republican areas:

“The Israeli settlement of Pisgat Zeev in the Westbank seen from the Palestinian refugee camp of Shuafat in the outskirts of Jeruslaem. Occupied Palestinian Terriitories, 2009. Photograph by Kai Wiedenhöfer.” Wiedenhöfer’s photograph was mounted on Free Derry Corner July 19-21, 2013, as an extension of the Wall On Wall project and as one of the events during Derry’s year as the first “UK City Of Culture”. (Interview and footage of the piece being mounted can be seen at youtube.)
The final two images show graffiti added as though part of the design of the piece: on the wall in the photo, “Let’s now get the city leaders there 2 make Ramallah the Israeli city of culture 2014 and we can all do great art for peace there” and in the bottom corner, “A paper over the cracks of imperialism production.”
