In memory of Kevin Lynch 1956 - 1981 August 1st, 2006 - 25th Anniversary

'A loyal, determined republican with a great love of life'

THE EIGHTH republican to join the hunger-strike for political status, on May 23rd, following the death of Patsy O'Hara, was 25-year-old fellow INLA Volunteer Kevin Lynch from the small North Derry town of Dungiven who had been imprisoned since his arrest in 1976.

A well-known and well-liked young man in the closely knit community of his home town, Kevin was remembered chiefly for his outstanding ability as a sportsman, and for qualities of loyalty, determination and will to win which distinguished him on the sports field and which, in heavier times and circumstances, were his hallmarks as an H-Block blanket man on hunger-strike to the death.

In 1981 Kevin and nine other brave men died for the fight for political status. Twenty-five years later the fight still goes on. Today Republican prisoners have once again found it necessary to resort to prison protest.

We urge all Republicans to support the prisoners in their struggle to gain back the right to be treated as POWs. These men are prisoners of war and deserve to be treated as such.

1981: They were political prisoners then
2006: They are political prisoners now.

The Prisoners need YOUR Support

Help end the Prison Struggle; Support the Republican POWs.

Political Status is a Right not a Privilege - Support the P.O.Ws
