Gerry Conlons Most Powerful Speech!
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 08. 2024
- Gerry Conlon spoke in Trinity College in 2013 on the invitation of Afri, where he met and expressed his support for the family of Chelsea Manning (then known as Bradley). His rousing and inspirational speech on the important role of whistleblowers, fighting for justice and the need to stand up to powerful forces was one of his last public appearances before his death the following year at the age of 60.
Gerry's words ring as true today as they did on the evening he spoke them as Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning still languish in prison. As Julian Assange's health is deteriorating rapidly everyday there is an urgent need to spread this message.
Gerry's wrongful conviction in 1974 of bombing a Guildford Pub led to him and three others being imprisoned for 15 years, he watched his father die in the same prison, his only crime being that he travelled to Britain to bring his innocent son home. This film is dedicated to all innocent prisoners around the world.
For over four decades Afri has been involved in opposing war, promoting food sovereignty and tackling climate change - working especially with Secondary and Third level students as well as with the general public. We organise the annual Famine Walk in Mayo, a Hedge School in TU Blanchardstown and Féile Bríde in Kildare.

I am British, Born and Bred and this was one of the most evil miscarriages of justice ever.
He was a spy Joe.There are a lot of them, sorry to burst your bubble.
@@xhostcom9284 And what is your source for this piece of wisdom, because I have never heard of it before.
@@joekidd9456 I was put in a vendetta program for life & kidnapped/ritually abused 24 years because I stopped him exploiting a young girl in 1993. He was a drug addled lying asshole, his entire life a complete and utter lie. Sorry to burst your bubble.
@@xhostcom9284 I would say that many people if put in jail for 15 years for something they did not do would have problems in leading a normal life after their release.Many people suffer from drug or alcohol problems with having done 15 years in jail.. What people probably do not understand is that they were put in prison NOT to try and stop the bombing,but more likely to help it continue,MI5 would have knew they were innocent as did the police,but they jailed them knowing full well the actual bombers were still out there.He was not a spy,he was a puppet without knowing it
@@khutt19 Indeed possible but there is a direct connection to my minor argument with him in 1993 and the subsequent kidnapping organised by Crown agent Yves Carlo William from 1997 - 2007, knowing how deeply these people are entrenched and the lengths will they go to to establish authenticity, which I eye witnessed, and the fact it was referenced by the lunatic William ongoing in subliminal abuses from 2013,, he was in on it with the promised and delivered payoffs. I also checked this with someone involved with the other bombing in Birmingham, who emphatically stated that Crown agents were manipulating the entire IRA show.
Controlled opposition, actors, are very heavily used, and are usually very convincing, he was exploiting girls in 1993 whilst the movie was being prepared.
UK is just a sinister crooked regime riddled with nepotism/cronyism and symbolism.
And of course actors. And normal life? I got removed from society for a mind boggling 23 years and ruined, I've got zero criminal record.
“I’m a FREE MAN and I’m walking out the front door” RIP Gerry Conlan ✊🏻
It teaches you to be strong.,but at what cost!!

16 years front door go on gerry innocent man rip. Rip to all involved.
Respect to this great man❤️
“When you tear out a mans tongue, you are not proving him a Liar, you’re telling the world you fear what he might say”!
I always felt so close to the Irish people. From my early ages. I finally traveled to Ireland back in 2017. How proud people, honest, loving family and values. I am a Greek and I love Ireland. Thank you Gerry for the stone you put on earth for a better world.
Gerry was my friend. I invited him to speak at the Meeting for Peoples' Friendship in Italy in 2014. Unfortunately he passed away without having the chance to do it. Rest in Peace, Gerry mo chara 💚🙏
If there is anything I can do for your charity Just let me know please I feel ashamed of what my so called government did, THIS might sound trivial to this case but when I was 16, 2 grown police officers swore on oath & lied & got me 9month in prison not to mention that they kicked me up & down but that was OK cause in their word's I was built like a man I've never trusted the British police since Xx
Love the Irish they are like us the Greeks emotional people they know the difference between right or wrong and they showed oppressed people how to resist fascist elites long live the Irish
Yes, I knew Greeks in Greece and USA and they're the same as the Irish.
My husband is descended from that wonderful people. He has the strongest level of integrity of anyone I've ever known and does right even when it hurts him.
Please don't generalise, just like any nation Ireland is made up of individuals, some good, some not so good. Nations are not filled with stereotypes.
@@rackpunch4026 arry don't be so precious.. Obviously everyone is an individual human but Groups of people display common traits. That's not being racist or generalising it is basic anthropology.
@Reality Check im sure you didn't mean that to sound so stupid. You need to realise that the negativity you hold towards a whole group of people, most other people don't share it. You have an opinion, not a fact, hatred will eat you from the inside and torture you psychologically, tough people get passed that, and learn to love.
R.I.P Gerry and Giuseppe. ❤.

I was a 19-year-old Irish man working in Bank of Ireland in Queen Street in 1991. I went out to get a sandwich for lunch and just happened to be passing the Old Bailey as the Birmingham 6 were being released. There were loads of people waving Irish flags but I had no clue what was going on until I got home and saw it on the evening news! A great day for the parish ;-)
I am not ashamed to say I cried listening to this. I am now, as I ever have been proud of my Irish blood.
Me too and I'm a kiwi,so sad the injustice they suffered .
I cried with you Sister
Even as a 10yr old I knew they were innocent.
R.I.P Gerry Conlon and Giuseppe Conlon
Love Irish people from Afghanistan
Much love from the Irish to you in Afghanistan!!! Thank you for your support!!!
Love to you my friend. I hope your people find peace and justice along with all others
same back to you
Can’t be many of them.
Man I'm crying here a McGuire in Scotland... We love you 🍀☘️🇮🇪🏴
British justice... "innocent till proven 'Irish'"
You saying that because some one else posted it?
@@brianmorecombe2726 he’s saying that because that’s how it is.
Guilty until proven innocent more like. This travesty of justice is just the tip of the iceberg.
Irish justice isn't much better.
@@missadventuresmotorcycledi2773 irish justice isn’t “innocent till proven British” ,so I’d say it’s quite a bit better.
I can never imagine the trauma experienced by Gerry, his father and their friends, but as a survivor of pen 3 of the Leppings Lane terrace of Hillsborough I can whole heartedly attest to the power and corruption within the police, the justice system and government of this country! People need to speak up and never be silenced by the elite few who believe they are the chosen few
And yet it is all happening again, in the worst possible way, and people just won't see it. Somehow people have forgotten and now believe that government and authority figures only tell the truth and want what's best for us. It couldn't be farther from the truth!
Bless you ❤️
@@mandychadwick6823 good riddance to him he was trouble
I'm a free man, and I'm going out the front door"
Rip Gerry and Giuseppe.
Heroes🇮🇪 SHAME ON BRITAIN
And no police officers prosecuted for perjury and false imprisonment? Why? A great speech and from the heart and without any notes or prompter.
Yeah, why?
@@joecook5689 because the British justice and the elite simply just don't care
Yes great speech and displayed high level of emotional intelligence and empathy to mention the Birmingham six
The British establishment didn’t give a hoot weather he was guilty or not. He was Irish was his crime and he along with the other 3 where stiched up
You clearly have no idea what perjury is. 🇬🇧
If there’s one case anonymous can investigate is yours !! Your film is one of the best ever rip Giuseppe Conlon 🏴🏴🏴
Free Julian Assange.
RIP Gerry, a voice for all the people who didnt have one.
What a great speaker he was, a man of the people and for justice.
RIP Giuseppe, Carole & Gerry.
Well said
✊🏻
Free Julian Assange……2021
The Daniel Day Lewis film In the name of the father is absolutely brilliant,and tells the true story of what happened. The best scene is at the end when he is found not guilty he says proudly "" I am a free man ,and I am walking out the front door."" . Amazing.🙏
I thought the film went easy on the Police, but in fairness their depraved behaviour could not be shown in any theatre.
A great Irishman, no hatred in his heart despite all he went through.
@Ciaran Walsh
Wanker !
Continue a conflict in the 21st century !
Grow up !
@Ciaran Walsh there'll be a brimstone down the chimney these days if that lot were daft enough to dare.
No hatred in his heart? Almost his entire speech was anti-British hate.
@@jonoessex anti British govt and anti British police but NOT anti British people... That's the difference...
@@Kickback-dm7zt The British people he demonises in his speech are mainly the police and government but he is giving a speech designed to incite anti-british hatred.
The Guildford 4 was not 4 men it was three men and a Woman a 17 year old girl who never recovered from the Guildford bombing. Never forget Carol Richardson she never had a chance
It's disgraceful what they did to her and no fucker has apologised the people who put her in jail got their knighthoods form the establishment
That's the brits for yeah!
She was English as well
@@joemoody7440 Yes, the British establishment. Not all British people, as Carole Richardson was an English girl, with an Irish boyfriend. I always make a very clear distinction between the British establishment, the government, the police, the law; and ordinary folk who just happen to be English.
I personally feel that the issue should never be about British and Irish, or Protestant and Catholic; but between corrupt leaders and then ordinary citizens - everywhere in the world.
Fantastic speech from Gerry Conlon. RIP Gerry.
The people at the top of England's class system , alway's think they can treat both Irish people and the poor in English society , just how they like. But the ruling classes will never win against unbreakable people!
The lower classes in Britain are so obsessed with past glories that they are easily and ably exploited to protect their masters, graduates of grandiose establishment colleges. They snarl and chomp at anyone not showing conformity or anyone who shows any sign of a dissenting opinion on where we are being led by the elite.
They were collaborators with the most evil sadistic scum - the IRA
@@grrr.9998 yawn
No one in England thinks that and the Irish should get that hateful fucking chip off their shoulder. The stone one coz I'm bored with the potato 🥔 story ones
Yer well i think there a few people sick off your flag waving shit. You have no idea what britsh colonisation has caused to people.
RIP Gerry , this makes me ashamed to be English along with all other crimes this country has done to the wonderful people of Ireland.
Don't be ashamed bro, it's the government and police are to blame, I'm an Irish lady and I hate what they did but the Irish government didn't do anything to help either, we are good people both sides of the pond but our leaders are rotten to the core
Thank you 🙏
@@khiggins7231 God bless you 🙏❤
Conlon's an IRA propagandist, don't believe what he says about his case. He has an agenda.
@@jonoessex that maybe the case , but can you blame him after all the years in prison for something he never did and watching his innocent father die in prison, I'm English and I can remember the rhetoric of the 70s Irish and Catholic you must be the enemy .
Any Irish Catholic person 👍❤️🍀
Edinburgh Scotland R.C 🧎♂️
Kiwi Irish Catholic who's forebears escaped English tyranny to create a peaceful home for generations to come. RIP Gerry great speech.
Not just Catholic, just Irish.
@@Tellemore yeah there was a lot of Irish prods miscarriages of justice in Britain 🙈🙈 Irish Catholic was British enemy prosumed all were provisionals,
Why catholic?
R.I.P Gerry Conlon Extremely Powerful And Strong Man
A beautiful, powerful honest speech from the 💓. god bless you.
@Reality Check if you are Irish you are guilty obviously, and just a few have brought the british empire to its knees, united irelands in the post 😎
@Reality Check you know it's true you little troll. The Boris betrayal 😂😂😂😂, how many times will it take for you lot to realise the English don't care about you. A bunch of ex Scots living in the 1600s and costing a fortune while constantly moaning banging drums and building bonfire's, for the love of God would you ever get a grip
@Reality Check you assume that if the Guilford four were not 100 percent innocent just to save the British justice system been shown for how corrupt and evil it really is, if they had a shred of decent evidence the Guilford four never would of been freed. Don't reply I won't read it
R.I.P Gerry ⚘totally disgrace what happened to you and the others .Our justice systems treatment off you was appalling 🤦♂️
Not in my name.. nice one kid. 👌
@@staffy4389 No worries mate 👍
Don't believe what Conlon says he is a liar. I've seen him in another video suggesting that the Judge at his appeal admitted he was innocent but was going to keep him in prison anyway because he might know who did? Conlon is a liar.
God Bless you Gerry!
Love from Scotland.
Respect from TÜRKİYE. I sincerely support Irish people and poor Conlan family. May God punish the unjust ones!!
R.I.P.. Guiseppe...Gerry... Carol...✊😑🇮🇪. Fkn total injustice...
R.I.P. Gerry and Carol and Giuseppe, you were given "British Justice" from the Country that has been involved in one war or another since the 16th Century and they still fly their "Butchers Apron" high and salute it. The British State has always had innocent blood on its hands throughout the centuries. Respect, Love and Admiration to the Irish. The 1993 Film "In The Name Of The Father" is about the Guildford Four.
The IRA has much blood on it's hands, Gerry Conlon is a propagandist for that organisation.
Can't imagine what you all went through rest in peace Gerry and Carol
That was the great British government “The butchers Apron “

@@stephenedwards3259 you are good honest person, God bless you
What about the Birmingham 21 and the Guildford 5 ?Or don't they count? The Birmingham 6 were returning from an IRA funeral in Ireland so if they wanted to be cleared they should of asked their Provo mates to hand over the real culprits instead of constantly whinging about British justice.
Well leave England then.
RIP Gerry Conlon. Salute to the brave nation of Ireland from Libya 🇱🇾🇮🇪

Open your eyes against these false court decisions, we should make judges pay for these bad judgments and mistakes. Never accept innocents life’s being destroyed!
Marco Caneira the judge doesn’t decide the decisions
@@baybay1423 I don't know where you are from, but in Europe, there are 3 judges normally and they decide together. its not like in Usa they have juries there.
I am from Australia and I’ve been told the jury decides
I'll never accept bad grammar.
@@marcocaneira This case was in Britain, and Britain uses the Jury system. It's where the US got it from.
In any case, the Guildford 4 were stitched up by the police and CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) in a string of knee-jerk arrests following attacks by the Provisional IRA (a splinter group of the original organisation). They confessed following beatings and torture - illegal in Britain. Even after realising the group were innocent, the police tried to cover up their mistake lest their misconduct become public knowledge. Police services in the UK had a horrible tendency to cover up or obstruct any investigation into their own conduct in this period. The situation has improved with the Independent Police Complaints Commission, but in recent years Home Secretaries have once again sought to immunise the security services from public scrutiny, with varying degrees of success.
Rest in peace Gerry. The British Government are know all over the world for their evil deeds.
Gerrys book is still one of the most incredible stories i've ever read,
peace to you our friend.
Whats the book called? An amazing speaker. The pain and passion in his voice is tangible.
@@Incywincey
It's called
'In the name of the father', taken from the same title as the movie, but it was originally called 'Proved Innocent' Gerrys own autobiographical account.
@@amp279 Thank you.
@@amp279 is it much different than the movie ?
@@tomweldon7608
Obviously most books will give you a far more comprehensive retelling, however iirc, the movie did stay true to the framework of the overall story, it's been a while since I watched it but Daniel Day Lewis & the supporting cast are amazing, it's a tough watch, but worth it.
Every time I see “In The Name of The Father” the injustice these four received makes my blood boil! For police, furthermore to b acquitted over “perversion of the course of justice”compounds, for me, how despicable this chapter of British judicial history was.
IN the name of the father is a piece of republican propaganda and Gerry Conlon is a republican propagandist. Lots of lies are told about his case by him and others in order to demonise the British. Don't believe his lies.
Look at the calibre of those in public life. The death of this guy was a tragedy. He had so much to contribute towards a decent society. Very powerful speech this.
It does make you feel ill.
Rip to gerry conlon and his da
R.I.P. Gerry Conlon!
A gentleman and a legend .
a gentleman who broke into peoples homes
@@kerryman8281 Yes, Margaret Thatcher's beloved son is a gentleman and Knight of the Realm but even his Wikipedia page opens up with *Convicted Criminal* !
Thank you for your beautiful speech ❤️🍀👍
ive watched in the name of the father at least 50 times,Its the film ive watched the most over the years ,last week (2023) They took the life blood of carol Richardson and 15 years of blood , sweat & tears of my client,whos only fault was he was Irish and foolish and in the wrong place at the wrong time!! RIp Gerry,Carol,Guissepe,I hope your all at peace now❤.Ashamed to be English!!!!
Would not be the first time. Tony Blair should be at the Hague.
He's Evil, and that's not a word I use lightly!
WOMD LIES KILLED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
Blair wasn’t prime minister at the time but when he was he gave a belated apology on behalf of the government he had nothing to do with the jailing or kangaroo court guilty until proved innocent.
Yes
Rest in peace and God Bless to all of the innocent Brave Irishmen and women who stood up to Evil against all odds.We are not worthy.🟩⬜️🟨
@Reality Check yous already have surrendered 😎😎 you are obviously a royal supporter 😭😭😭 would your name be ANDREW 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Reality Check , now we know where you come from. The Queen visited Ireland and was treated with respect by a people who no matter what, know what dignity is. It is unfortunate that you have no dignity; do you also have no decency?
@Reality Check , yes, they go back to the year 650ad. There is a a Highway in Sydney named after one... Then there was Gary and Tim: one played for England and Tim played for Australia Ask some one to teach you how to write in English. There is no plural for "you." "Youse" is not a word. There is a definite difference between "your" and you're (you are). So inspector Closeau, you need to learn to read and write before you go watching anyone. It may keep you out of trouble.
Very moving and powerful speech. Moved me to tears. RIP Gerry Conlon.
I watched "In the Name of the Father" when it first came out... I watched it again today. My feelings - although more mature - are still the same. Disgust at corrupt government in ANY country but especially, as I am Irish, disgust at what went on back then and what goes on to this day in many areas of government.
As Gerry (RIP) said, what happened was not a "miscarriage" of Justice... it was DELIBERATE.
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
This is very heart-wrenching I feel totally ashamed to be British.
Dont be,not your doing,and good and bad everywhere
Me To Brother ❤️
Just seen interview of Belfast man Brian keenan by Gay Byrne back in 1990 . He look liked he was released from a concentration camp . Skinny and malnushered . Brian was held hostage for 5 years in Beriut. The Birmingham six at least looked fit and healthy when released despite been treated badly by very crupt legal and prison system .
Mother of Mercy-how dare you compare the two disparate situations?
@@WBlissa Eh ?
Gerry.. now Giuseppe can say "Whos following who now Gerard" Bless ya Gerard & Giuseppe 💝💝
What an amazing person to survive what he did. I’m in awe of him. And as someone who detests the PR formulated speeches of today, it’s so wonderful to see someone speak to eloquently from the heart, from sheer conviction and experience.
There's no reason to be in awe of him. He was an alleged victims of a miscarriage of justice who gives public speeches inciting hatred against British people. There is nothing to be in awe of about that.
@@jonoessex He was sentenced to 15 yrs in prison for something he did'nt do... Along with 3 others... For the British governement to give immunity to the officers in charge of interigation! ... The British love Imperialism & contrrol over the Irish, North & South.. It never ends.
My Great grandfather was Irish ... He escaped the slavery of the British colonial empire
@@scutter8888 People do get wrongly convicted of crimes it happens. There is no evidence the people in charge of his case were given immunity. There is no imperialism north or south and hasn't been since 1922. Police framing people, it happens, it's got nothing to do with imperialism.
@@jonoessex you’re making this sound normal. Just admit the British got it horribly wrong and they continue to do so
I am an Englishman and I hate the Ira, but what happened to Gerry Conlon was an appalling injustice it’s very sad RIP Gerry.
what they did to these people was disgraceful
Thanks Sebastian- most English people are fine decent people, but like in many places the Establishment are a heartless shower.
The IRA were a direct result of the British government's evil practices and policy.
From America, born Lancashire. In the Name of the Father is one of my favorite movies of all time.
It's a totally untruthful depiction of his case. Republican propaganda really as is Conlon's speech.
@@jonoessex what is the real depiction ?
@@user-dz8bj6vt1v There has never been a film made that is a real depiction. I'm not sure where you can get accurate information about their case.
@@jonoessex not about the film. I mean on which elements the propaganda allienated the facts.
@@user-dz8bj6vt1v The whole film is really a republican film i.e the brits are so horrible to the irish etc. The film claims the British knew the G4 were innocent but kept them in prison anyway. This is rubbish.
You saved my life Gerry.
Im half english irish and i remembered you when i was accused of a crime i didnt commit.
It saved me.THANK YOU.
I know you're family were innocent! God bless you ❤️🍀
My ma was always on your side 😀. from Australia 👍❤️
The opening captions refer to the Guildford Four as 'a group of innocent men', but we should remember that one of them was a young English woman, Carole Richardson.
Well remembered also the Macguire family were fitted up during the same era.

Great speech. My heart goes out to him and the others who were illegally jailed. I along with many went on marches to free the six and the Guildford 4.

Don't believe what Conlon says about his case. He's a total liar.
@@jonoessex Why do you say that?
@@jonoessex No body has ever sued him yet for anything he said and he has stated some very high ranking people were corrupt and named those individuals. Go figure who the liars were.
@@peadarocoileain902 Probably because they are dead.
@@jonoessex rubbish Jon, those allegations are been made about these individuals for years. Then we had some Government 'Expert' state that the men in those cases should get no compensation for any time over ten years spent in prison. Lord Denning saying if 'they had been hanged' there would be nothing about it- as if it would been alright to execute four people, including an English woman, in the wrong, sorry murder, them on the wrong- he (Denning) was every bit as loathsome as the IRA. He also- and God you being a fair minded and all will love this- that it was better that innocent should remain in prison rather that have the 'good name' of his precious British Legal System impugned- This man truly had his head very far up his own arse.
Jesus what is people went through is unbelievable I'm so angry watching this video and still goes on today
Rest In Peace, Gerry!
I'm embarrassed to be British. The government has so questions to answer its bewildering. This man and the many without a voice are the real heroes. Yet history is ignored by some as they have blood-soaked hands. Expect nothing from your government as that is what they deliver.
All respect for you mr Conlon from Iraq🇮🇶 another ppl who were destroyed by the stupidity of UK and USA governments

Rest in Peace Gerry and Guiseppe - two great men. Please remember Jeremy Bamber now incarcerated for over 35 years and totally innocent. #WhitehouseFarm. Next month ITV are screening a drama about his case - totally ignoring all the evidence proving his innocence.
met him when he was on remand ( maybe 1986 norwich prison).....YOU KNOW when someone is innocent,i cant say WHAT it is - but he struck me as clean ...so i followed his case - found him on twitter.The thing is if he said yeh i did it ...hed be paroled next year,hes done 5 years more than his original life sentence . Anyone who would stick to that HAS A STORY .... ill support him no worries
His own.family believe he did.yhpugh. Apparently he didn't have a good relationship with.his family
@@celticmist14 It was his own family that planted the evidence that keeps him in jail today - 35 years as an innocent man. Ask Paddy Hill if he thinks he's guilty - they were in jail together in the early 90's. He was also in jail with Gerry Conlon and Paul Hill - all of whom thought him innocent. That alone is good enough for me - though there is now a mountain of irrefutable evidence as well.
Amazing speech! He’s become a LEGEND.
Gerry, I hope that you have the peace that you had stolen from you and Giuseppe in this world where you are now. This speech shows how much strength, conviction and compassion that you were able to keep despite 'best efforts' to take it from you. Much love and respect.
What a fantastic man! Makes me so proud to be Aussie Irish. This speech brought tears to my glass eye.
