[Marxism] 300 IRA members to fight convictions and seek compensation

[Jscotlive at aol.com]

Up to 300 IRA members are to attempt to have their convictions overturned and 
 sue the British government for compensation for wrongful imprisonment, the  
Guardian has learned. 
Some former inmates of the Maze and other prisons during the Troubles have  
consulted lawyers and prisoners' groups on how to quash convictions, many of  
which they allege were secured through tampered evidence and confessions  
extracted under torture and duress.
