As one of the 'Guildford Four' Gerry Conlon was wrongfully imprisoned as an IRA bomber in 1974. It took 16 years before his conviction was quashed in 1989 and he was released. His case was one of the most notorious miscarriages of justice in English legal history.Conlon's autobiography Proved Innocent was adapted into the Oscar and BAFTA Award-nominated 1993 film In The Name of the Father. Here he speaks to Cageprisoners' patron Yvonne Ridley about why he's fighting for Shaker Aamer, the last British resident in Guantanamo.
ireland supports shaker aamer. The torture machines of america and britain need to be done away with. FOREVER!

@pbrick6301 fuck you and your evil country. You're all gonna burn in hell for what you've done to the Iraqis and Afghanis. You probably only sympathise with Gerry Conlon because hes white. The only thing you have in common with him and other real Irish people is skin colour.

Every Irishman, all who have missed their loved ones, & those long for the abused by innocent should watch this video, write, call, email the authorities, campaign in & with groups: The Green Party, The Peace Groups, The Community Groups, The Human Rights Groups, School Groups & Every one in the world.
A great man once said, "When it has been done to the least of these, it has been done to me."
