#guildfordfour
Convictions for the #GuildfordFour were overturned on #ThisDayInHistory in 1989, after the innocents spent 15 years in prison for an #IRA bombing they did not commit. The confessions causing their conviction were obtained through torture and police threats against their families.

Saw the amazing #PADDY: The Life and Times of Paddy Armstrong last night. A play about Armstrong, one of the #GuildfordFour. Incredible performance by Don Wycherley, who co-wrote with Marie-Ellen Tynan and Niamh Gleeson. Currently in the Viking Theatre #Clontarf
