30 ANNI FA MORIVA BOBBY SANDS
Trent’anni fa, il 5 maggio 1981, Bobby Sands, detenuto repubblicano irlandese morì dopo 66 giorni di sciopero della fame. Bobby Sands e nove suoi compagni si lasciarono morire di fame nel carcere di Long Kesh, nei pressi di Belfast. I detenuti dell’Ira avevano 5 richieste : Il diritto di indossare i propri vestiti e non l’uniforme carceraria; il diritto di astenersi dai lavori penali, il diritto alla libera associazione, il diritto ad attività ricreative ed educative in accordo con le autorità carcerarie e il ripristino del condono della pena (venuto meno a causa della “dirty protest”). Oggi quel carcere è chiuso, vuoto. Ma resta il simbolo, con i suoi «H-blocks», blocchi H, della repressione inglese su quel pezzo di isola verde. Il simbolo dell’ostinazione con cui la Gran Bretagna ha continuato (e, seppure in modo diverso, continua) a passare letteralmente sopra i cadaveri di migliaia di persone pur di mantenere il controllo di quelle sei contee: anche quando (come del resto ha riconosciuto il governo di John Major, nel 1994) non aveva più interessi «né strategici, né economici, né egoistici » su quel territorio.
