Prison Pickets

Armagh-Down Observer 1989

Armagh-Down Observer 1989

While looking through the 1989 Armagh-Down Observers, I somehow found the name Towson:

A prisoners action group staged a picket on the Department of Justice in Dublin on Sunday calling for a release date for Newry man, Liam Towson who was jailed for life in 1977 for the murder of SAS Captain Robert Nairac.

The group, Portlaoise Prisoners’ Relatives Actions Committee claimed that Towson would have got better treatment if he had been sentenced in the North.

I went to Towson for undergrad, so of course I had to pick this one.
