Abstract

The Republican Plea
November 21, 1923 issue

add to cart   close window

The hunger strike of Irish Republican prisoners that began on October 14, 1925 has occasioned much comment in Ireland and the United States. The position of even the more liberal supporters of the Free State is one of bitter opposition to this policy. The hunger strike was declared by the political prisoners at present detained in Mountjoy jail. This hunger strike will be the final hunger strike to take place in this jail as long as the men are in it, for it will come to an end in a way that will preclude a repetition of such a fight-in victory and release, or in the death of the prisoners.
