Hunger Strikers' Memorial
In 1981, 23 prisoners held at Long Kesh prison in Northern Ireland went on a hunger strike to protest how they were recognized within the prison. This is a memorial to the 10 hunger strikers that died.
A few films have been made to tell this story, most famously Hunger (2008) and Some Mother's Son (1996).
This picture was taken exactly 20 years and 12 days after Bobby Sands became the first hunger striker to die of starvation.
