Ógra Shinn Féin Doire take part in internment re-enactment

To mark the 40th Anniversary of the introduction of internment in the 6 counties, Republicans gathered at Free Derry Corner where a rally had been organised by Republican ex-prisoners group Tar Abhaile. The event was chaired by former internee Gerry McCartney.



During the event the unsuspecting crowd was ambushed by members of ÓSF dressed as British Paratroopers and RUC men, certain people in the crowd had been highlight to be 'arrested'. They were pulled from the crowd, forced against Free Derry Wall and a pillow case was pulled over their head. The families of those murdered during the Ballymurphy massacre were also present, to highlight their case people came from behind the wall and symbolised some of those who were murdered and the families who were left to mourn them.
