25 Years on, Irelands republican prisoners who died in the 1981 hunger strikes are remembered

At 1.17 a.m. on Tuesday, May 5th 1981, having completed sixty-five days on hunger-strike, Bobby Sands MP, died in the H-Block prison hospital at Long Kesh. Bobby was a truly unique person whose loss is great and immeasurable. He never gave himself a moment to spare. He lived his life energetically, dedicated to his people and to the republican cause, eventually offering up his life in a conscious effort to further that cause and the cause of those with whom he had shared almost eight years of his adult life. In his own words: "of course I can be murdered but I remain what I am, a political POW and no-one, not even the British, can change that."
Bobby Sands was the first of ten prisoners to die on hunger strike fighting for some basic rights.


The Right not to wear a prison uniform;

The Right not to do prison work;

The Right of free association with other prisoners;

The Right to organize their own educational and recreational facilities;

The Right to one visit, one letter and one parcel per week.
