Relatives for Justice video
Following the great response to Mark Thompson’s video on behalf of Relatives for Justice , the AOH FFAI is trying to bring you videos about the work done by other groups your Christmas Appeal donations support.
Their first interview was with Bik McFarlane and Joe Austin representing Belfast National Graves.
In addition to explaining the work of Belfast National Graves, and the vital importance of contributions from America and the AOH to Irish patriot graves, these two prominent Irish Republicans give moving insights into:
1- the 1981 Hunger Strike and why Republicans resisted torture and died rather than wear a British criminal uniform
2-how Republican prisoners locked away inside H-Block cells overcame the British propaganda machine to defeat Thatcher’s strategy
3-the battle for legacy truth and what the British are trying to hide in their latest legacy proposals.
4-the policy of censorship by visa denial where our government blocks them from coming to the US at Britain’s behest.
Here is a link to the video: Belfast National Graves
