Subject: Michael Montgomery: Fallen Comrade of the IRSM

Fallen Comrade of the Irish Republican Socialist Movement

Michael Montgomery
Died on 1 December 1984

Michael Montgomery was a former Irish Republican Socialist Party
spokesperson, Irish National Liberation Army officer commanding, and
elected member of the Derry City Council representing the working
class area of Creggan.

He joined the Irish Republican Army in the 1950s and participated in
the Border Campaign of 1956-62, at one point being on the run from
British authorities for several years. He was interned without trial
in 1971 and was one of the "The Hooded Men," twelve republican
activists who were tortured physically, mentally, and through sensory
deprivation after their arrests. The European Court of Human Rights
later found Britain guilty of "inhumane and degrading treatment"
against the Hooded Men.

He died of natural causes at the age of 48 and was laid to rest next
to INLA hunger strikers Patsy O'Hara and Michael Devine in Derry City
Cemetery.

He died as he lived: as a Republican Socialist. Remember him with
honour and pride.
