Unionists furious at hunger strike 'jamboree'

The British government was told to hang its head in shame tonight after Irish republicans held a commemoration at the former Maze Prison to 10 IRA and INLA prisoners who died on hunger strike.

Democratic Unionist MP Nigel Dodds was furious that republicans were allowed to stage a ceremony in the former jail to mark the 25th anniversary of hunger striker Bobby Sands’ death.
