iamBullivant<p>On 5th October 1968 a non-sectarian civil-rights march took place in Derry. The demands of the marchers included an end to gerrymandering and discrimination in housing and the right to vote. The Royal Ulster Constabulary attempted to violently disperse the crowd by baton-charging the crowd and leaving many people injured including a number of MPs.

iamBullivant<p>The Maze Prison escape took place on 25 September 1983. HM Prison Maze (also known as Long Kesh/An Cheis Fhada) was a maximum security prison considered to be one of the most escape-proof prisons in Europe. In the biggest prison escape in British history, 38 IRA prisoners escaped from H-Block 7 of the prison. One prison officer died of a heart attack during the escape and twenty others were injured.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Ireland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ireland</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/IrishHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IrishHistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/NorthernIreland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NorthernIreland</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/MazePrison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MazePrison</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/LongKesh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LongKesh</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/TheTroubles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TheTroubles</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a></p>

iamBullivant<p>Operation Demetrius began on 9th August 1971. It was a British Army operation in&nbsp;Northern Ireland during the Troubles. It involved the mass arrest and&nbsp;internment of people without trial.
