Bobby Sands: the hunger strike that changed history
Forty years ago this week Bobby Sands was the first of 10 Irish republican hunger strikers to die after refusing food for 66 days. “Martyrs” to many, others saw them as IRA “terrorists”. Sands’ slow lingering death in May 1981 proved to be a turning point in the bitter 30-year conflict over British rule in Northern Ireland. Violence erupted in 1968 when police attacked a peaceful civil rights demonstration in Londonderry, Northern Ireland’s majority Catholic second city. The Provisional Irish Republican Army was formed in 1970 and began a guerrilla war with the British Army and loyalist paramilitaries from the majority Protestant population, who want to keep what they call Ulster, British.
