Legenderry Raymond Gilmour
Raymond Gilmour was a member of (successively) the IRA, INLA, and again IRA who was an undercover agent for the RUC and became a supergrass in 1982. This stencil in London Road near the New Gate is perhaps caused by his complaint against the intelligence services (BBC).

Impunity
Line drawing in Derry by Carlos Latuff showing an army soldier, with “impunity” across his shoulders, taking aim at a blindfolded woman, representing martyrs’ families.
Latuff is a Brazilian political cartoonist (web site). This piece is outside the Free Museum of Derry. Just out of shot (to the right) is an actual bullet-hole from Bloody Sunday. He also added a drawing to Free Derry corner (M08306). On the same visit (July 2012), he worked in Belfast on a mural expressing solidarity between Palestinian and republican POWs and also did a line drawing on a café wall.
(See also: Latuff cartoon used in a flyer for a rally to End Imp unity.)
