Three in a row in Mount Sion, Strabane. On the left, a single volunteer fires a funeral shot over a very faded saying of Pearse’s: “Life springs from death and from the graves of patriotic men and women spring living nations.” In the centre, another funeral volley over an INLA Roll Of Honour bearing the names Neil McMonagle, Colm McNutt, Pierce Moore, Patsy O’Hara, Kevin Lynch, Micky Devine, James McPhilemy. On the right, a masked INLA volunteer with Thompson sub-machine gun.

Here is another instance of the ‘masked skull’ design produced by prisoners in Long Kesh (according to Mo Chara Kelly), seen previously in Britains Death Squads. This version is simpler: it does not have any writing and there is no UDR emblem on the UDA-style hat. Beechmount Avenue, Belfast.

Painted by Mo Chara Kelly in Springhill Avenue, west Belfast.

Leonard Peltier is serving two life sentences for the deaths of FBI agents in a shootout in Pine Ridge Indian Reservation (WP). Amnesty International describes his trial as “unfair”. “Framed by the FBI”. AIM is American Indian Movement and the four colours are the colours of man.
