Adams unveils Cuba memorial to Bobby Sands
Former MP Bobby Sands and nine republican hunger strikers gave their lives 20 years ago because they believed in the right of the people of Ireland to shape their own destiny, Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams said today.
The West Belfast MP said at the unveiling of a memorial in the Cuban capital Havana that former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s government had sought to deny the ideal of justice, equality, freedom and the national right for self determination.
