- On 14 March 1991, ITN's cameras captured the release of the Birmingham Six, the group of Irishmen wrongfully arrested and convicted for the Birmingham pub bombings of November 1974. Patrick Joseph Hill, Richard McIlkenny, Hugh Callaghan, John Walker, Gerard Hunter and William Power were sentenced to life imprisonment in 1975, and spent 16 years behind bars before their convitions were overturned. Their release came nearly two years after the release of the Guildford Four, who were imprisoned under similar circumstances following the Guildford pub bomings of October 1974. Paul Hill, one of the Guildford Four, campaigned for the Six's release, and features prominently in ITN's footage of the day.

Why were those criminal police officers who framed these men never brought to justice? It stinks!
This was an appalling miscarriage of justice. They were only convicted because they were Irish. Same with the Guildford Four and Maguire Seven.
Edit: RIP Paddy Hill, Hugh Callaghan, and Richard McIlkenny.
There’s more to it than just being Irish.
@garethlloyd4716 So what is it then, Gareth?
Indeed. Then all the hidden scandals too, especially the Playland Scandal.
@@garethlloyd4716enlighten us please.
Mi5…Mi6..they were behind the Dublin bombings..Miami showband massacre..Enniskillen bombings..framing the Guildford 4..Birmingham 6..etc etc etc etc..your answer is there..
Paddy was the bravest most courageous man I have ever met .
I am proud to be his friend .
He had the heart of a lion and set up the miscarriage of justice organisation to help people like him .
The world has lost a legend .
Rip paddy love you forever in my heart.
Soapy
In retrospect…..What happened was wrong on so many levels, it’s inexcusable and the only positive light is that eventually reluctantly they were exonerated and the British prime minister apologized for the injustice.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a h'anam dílis. RIP Paddy, a brave soul who dedicated his life to helping others 🕊
And all these years later still it goes on !
I think I can see my father. He was the chaffeur taking the innocent to a pub
I think they were taken to a hotel to be reunited with. their families
RIP Paddy
You lived trew hell on earth, now I hope where ever you are you find peace
RIP Paddy Hill
That older guy wasn't doing anything wrong whatsoever and the bully cop just took him away
And every British copper who fitted these innocent men up got away with it.
Rule Brittania.
Not nice
Good old British justice! Crooked as the day is long!
Rest in peace Paddy ❤
The British government has never been straight always as bent as the cops are Shane on the people for allowing them to continue
I blame the BBC.
I'm not a fan of Trump, however he did shine a light on fake news.
So I personally don't blame the people it's the sh!te they listen to every night on TV.
a shame not shane...but i agree with your comment
How the he'll were the cops and the goverment able to get away with this frame up.
Thursday 14th March 1991
Is that the BBC's Matthew Amroliwala in the mac coming out before the rest spilled out?
indeed
Are you pleading guilty or irish.
❤🇮🇪
Paddy has sadly passed away last week RIP ❤
Paddy died broken because of what happened to him angry and unable to live or enjoy the freedom
Can you call this:democracy?
А есть хроника Ливерпуля 1983-87 годов?
Not exactly what your looking for, but if your referring to the Militant government of Liverpool in the 80s, there is this really good documentary about the period in the 90s after Militant were kicked from the Labour party. Its in english though, I don't know if you can get Russian subtitles for it. (то же самое снова на русском языке с помощью гугл-переводчика) Это не совсем то, что вы ищете, но если вы имеете в виду правительство Militant в Ливерпуле в 80-х годах, есть этот действительно хороший документальный фильм о периоде в 90-х годах после того, как Militant были изгнаны из Лейбористской партии. Правда, он на английском, я не знаю, можно ли получить для него русские субтитры. ruclips.net/video/zFwwFsq6siU/видео.html
the birmingham sax
They might not have been guilty of the bombing. But let's be honest they were at least associated with members of the IRA and probably had links or associates involved with dozens of other murders. I'm not shedding any tears for their time spent in jail
No proof of any of this..if you invade another persons country and treat the native population like shite for 700 years a high probability that blood will be shed..it is unfortunate when innocent people die, but also not right to convict innocent people.. Dresden was bombed to pieces and lots of innocent people died..my Uncle was in one of the bombers..neither are ideal …
No they didn’t they were completely innocent, you know nothing do some research and educate yourself.
You need to wake up. There was never the slightest evidence that they were members of the IRA - because they were never members of the IRA. THE BIRMINGHAM SIX ARE INNOCENT - No ifs, no buts.
@ they were arrested when they were travelling to the funeral of an IRA member that they were all friends with. Maybe you should so some research....
@@AM-ty3zp James McDade was not known by many people to have been an IRA member until after he died, and in Irish culture, one has an obligation to attend funerals of people they knew regardless of how they died. Also, going to one IRA member's funeral doesn't mean you "probably had links or associates involved with dozens of other murders." Maybe YOU SHOULD DO SOME RESEARCH.
Paddy Joe is innocent from day 1
Rip paddy
This explains the Israeli support
Ireland support Palestine.
Not the cvnt's you care to mention.🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's bollocks..
WTAF do the Birmingham Six have to do with Israel?
The british, talking about them, they never have been about straight arrows
@abdullaa7281 The Birmingham Six were convicted in 1975. They were released in 1991. So, again, what did Israel have to do with this? Did Israel convict them? Was the Birmingham bombing a Mossad plot? Or are your comments merely about hatred of Jews?
Yea how weird it is seeing that on RUclips now as I was in the scrubs wrongly convicted of murder myself. I had a game of chess with Billy power but only 25 then & learning but thanks to Rough justice I got aquitted 28th December 95
It is great that you were acquitted. Gerry Conlon and Paddy Hill were doing remarkable work in getting wrongful convictions overturned Poor Gerry, how sad it was that he died too soon.
