Belfast Republican, Sean ‘Spike’ Murray spoke briefly about the significance of the events surrounding Gibraltar and formally launched the film in Derry, this was followed by Ógra activist Aoife McNaught reading out a statement for International Women’s Day.
Speaking following the event, Chairperson of Doire Ógra, Niall Doran said,
“The film was very emotive and informative, an excellent education of the Gibraltar 3, and I would urge other Ógra cumann and young republicans to host a showing in their area.”
“I, like many others attending the event, were not even born when the tragic events of Gibraltar and Milltown happened. Tragedies like these make us, republican youth, proud to remember the sacrifice of these brave people, and it makes us realise the ferocity of state violence and unionist death squads that was directed at our people and communities only 20 years ago.”
“The events of that time and the people that we lost did not deter republicans then and it certainly doesn’t deter us now. We are proud to remember those who lost their lives; their legacy is and will continue to be a determined youth working towards everything they died for, justice, equality and freedom.”
