Expose Collusion/Free The Castlerea Five

Castlerea Prison is in Roscommon, Ireland. Five IRA prisoners convicted of killing Garda Jerry McCabe during a robbery in 1996 – Pearse McCauley, Michael O’Neill, John Quinn, Jerry Sheehy, Kevin Walsh – were not released in the wake of the Good Friday Agreement. A campaign for their release was organised under the slogan “Free the Castlerea Five!”. Above is a Sinn Féin call to a rally to “expose collusion – state sponsored murder. Fírınne Anoıs – Truth Now!” Andersonstown Road, Belfast
