'Be like Francis'

May 12 marks the day Irish Republican Hungerstriker Francis Hughes Died on Hungerstrike 25 years ago.

We are asking the youth of the world to join with Ógra Shinn Féin in commemorating this brave Irish revolutionary who died the most awful of deaths, to advance the struggle for freedom and socialism.

As Francis once said, 'Victory to the Provos!'
