John Francis Green

John Francis Green died in a Monaghan farmhouse in January 1975 after escaping Long Kesh disguised as a priest, leaving behind a young republican life cut short by gunmen who marked their work with bullets shaped like UVF. The clearing of that chamber is not a request to forget him but a warning about how easily powerful men bury ordinary violence. His story belongs in the open because secrecy is the tool those killers used, and memory is the rope that pulls the event back into daylight.
