The Blanketmen - Rare Irish Troubles Documentary

☢️VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED☢️
H-Blocks - Bobby Sands & The Blanketmen - Northern Ireland Troubles Documentary FULL
The blanket protest was part of a five-year protest during the Troubles by Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) and Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) prisoners held in the Maze prison (also known as "Long Kesh") in Northern Ireland. The republican prisoners' status as political prisoners, known as Special Category Status, had begun to be phased out in 1976. Among other things, this meant that they would now be required to wear prison uniforms like ordinary convicts. The prisoners refused to accept that they had been administratively designated as ordinary criminals, and refused to wear the prison uniform.
