Fifteen fucking years. I did just seven months, can't imagine fifteen YEARS.

Gerry Conlon Dies At Age 60

Good on yer, Gerry, for never giving up or giving in.

For what?

For buying a pint for a man whose brother was suspected of paramilitary activity. I was never formally charged, never brought to trial. The legal language used to lock me up was 'suspicion of associating with an illegal organisation.' It doesn't compare with what happened to the Guilford Four, but I wasn't allowed mail or contact with my family or legal assistance.

The saddest thing is that this was, at the time, all perfectly legal.
