Bobby Sands died in a British jail built on stolen land / occupied territory 45 years ago today, aged 27, after 66 days on hunger strike.
Revolutionary, guerilla, poet, songwriter, POW...and, until the Brits changed the rules as a result, elected MP.
His courage and his example will never be forgotten.
“They have nothing in their whole imperial arsenal that can break the spirit of one Irishman who doesn’t want to be broken”
