Pat Finucane
“Targeted by British Establishment; Executed by Loyalist killer gang.” Solicitor and “human rights activist” Pat Finucane was shot in 1989 at his home in north Belfast by loyalist paramilitaries aided by MI5. Collusion in the killing was admitted in 2011 by then-Prime Minister David Cameron. Ten years after Finucane’s death, Rosemary Nelson was also assassinated. “If you don’t defend human rights lawyers, who will defend human rights? – Rosemary Nelson”. Rare for a mural, this piece is signed by the artists.

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
