Martyr's Funeral Planned for Hunger Striker Gaughan
The body of Irish hunger striker Michael Gaughan, 24, was returned to Ireland for a martyr’s funeral planned by IRA colleagues. Eight IRA men escorted the coffin to London airport amid mixed cheers and boos. In Dublin about 100 attended the coffin’s arrival. Meanwhile five other prisoners ended hunger strikes in British jails, with several still receiving nourishment. Gaughan died after a 64 day fast in Parkhurst prison. He was to be buried in Ballina Mayo. Religious leaders praised him as a martyr for Irish freedom. Additional prisoners at Brixton Wormwood Scrubbs and Parkhurst began liquid nourishment after hunger strikes. The Home Office made no official notice of why the five stopped fasting. All five are said to be IRA members seeking political prisoner status.
