British Government must now tell others of unlawful internment - Gerry Adams

"There is an onus on the British Government to identify and inform other internees whose internment may also have been unlawful"

Gerry Adams’ convictions for attempting to escape from prison in the 1970s have been overturned by the UK’s highest court after it ruled that his detention was unlawful.

The former Sinn Féin leader took legal action claiming the two 1975 findings of guilt were unsafe because his incarceration was not “personally considered” by a senior British government minister.
