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 larger plaque on the board above reads, “We wish to pay tribute to the young men and women from this area, who are currently serving or have served with Her Majesty’s Forces in Afghanistan and to those from Northern Ireland who have paid the Surpreme Sacrifice. Lest we forget”.
The smaller one has part of the Ode of Remembrance from Laurence Binyon’s poem For The Fallen: “They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old, Age shall not weary them, Nor the years condemn, At the going down of the sun, And in the morning, We will Remember them.”
The side-wall reads “End PSNIRA political policing – free Protestant hostages” with a pair of fists bound by rope (rather than barbed wire).

“Interned by Britain, facilitated by Stormont.” Marian Price was released on May 39th, 2013 (BBC) but it took a while for some IRPWA (web) placards to come down. The first is in Lone Moor Road, Derry. The second – “Support the republican POWs on protest in Maghaberry” – is in Eastway, Derry and was later vandalised (see M09535). The third is in Brompton Park, Ardoyne, Belfast.
See previously: Free Marian Price (2011) and Free Marian Price Now (2012). The other portrait in the final image is Martin Corey – see e.g. 38 Days.

Here are various walls supporting Stephen Murney, an éırígí (web) activist currently in prison since December 2012 on terrorism charges (BBC-NI).
The first is in Hugo Street, to which an éırígí star was later added;
the second (from March) is on Divis Street;
the third, next to the outstretched arms of Jim Larkin, is under the advertising hoarding in Northumberland Street – in November, Larkin and the banner were replaced with the stencils in the two following images.
The final image is from the Andersonstown Road.
