Gerry Conlons Most Powerful Speech!

  • Опубликовано: 25 ноя 2019
  • Gerry Conlon spoke in Trinity College in 2013 on the invitation of Afri, where he met and expressed his support for the family of Chelsea Manning (then known as Bradley). His rousing and inspirational speech on the important role of whistleblowers, fighting for justice and the need to stand up to powerful forces was one of his last public appearances before his death the following year at the age of 60.
    Gerry's words ring as true today as they did on the evening he spoke them as Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning still languish in prison. As Julian Assange's health is deteriorating rapidly everyday there is an urgent need to spread this message.
    Gerry's wrongful conviction in 1974 of bombing a Guildford Pub led to him and three others being imprisoned for 15 years, he watched his father die in the same prison, his only crime being that he travelled to Britain to bring his innocent son home. This film is dedicated to all innocent prisoners around the world.
    For over four decades Afri has been involved in opposing war, promoting food sovereignty and tackling climate change - working especially with Secondary and Third level students as well as with the general public. We organise the annual Famine Walk in Mayo, a Hedge School in TU Blanchardstown and Féile Bríde in Kildare.

      @@khutt19 Indeed possible but there is a direct connection to my minor argument with him in 1993 and the subsequent kidnapping organised by Crown agent Yves Carlo William from 1997 - 2007, knowing how deeply these people are entrenched and the lengths will they go to to establish authenticity, which I eye witnessed, and the fact it was referenced by the lunatic William ongoing in subliminal abuses from 2013,, he was in on it with the promised and delivered payoffs. I also checked this with someone involved with the other bombing in Birmingham, who emphatically stated that Crown agents were manipulating the entire IRA show.
      Controlled opposition, actors, are very heavily used, and are usually very convincing, he was exploiting girls in 1993 whilst the movie was being prepared.

      Obviously most books will give you a far more comprehensive retelling, however iirc, the movie did stay true to the framework of the overall story, it's been a while since I watched it but Daniel Day Lewis & the supporting cast are amazing, it's a tough watch, but worth it.

      @@marcocaneira This case was in Britain, and Britain uses the Jury system. It's where the US got it from.
      In any case, the Guildford 4 were stitched up by the police and CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) in a string of knee-jerk arrests following attacks by the Provisional IRA (a splinter group of the original organisation). They confessed following beatings and torture - illegal in Britain. Even after realising the group were innocent, the police tried to cover up their mistake lest their misconduct become public knowledge. Police services in the UK had a horrible tendency to cover up or obstruct any investigation into their own conduct in this period. The situation has improved with the Independent Police Complaints Commission, but in recent years Home Secretaries have once again sought to immunise the security services from public scrutiny, with varying degrees of success.
