GUEST,LK867 BS: Gerry Adams arrest (194* d) RE: BS: Gerry Adams arrest 05 May 14


Adams was running the cages in the Kesh as far back as 1972. He was steel fenced all his life by his cronies, still is.

When you arrived at the camp, you were debriefed by more senior prisoners, Adams had set a security unit up, Freddie Scappaticci was one of them. When you arrived you were brought to the shower hut and questioned, often beaten.

Art McAlinden was the OC OF cage five at that time, a young boy called Paddy Joe Crawford arrived in, he was about 20 years old, he was an orphan, a nice lad, but very immature. Apparently he admitted that he gave information to his interrogators and that sealed his fate.

That night he was found hanging in a hut in Cage 5. Evidence was concocted to suggest he had committed suicide; the RUC's investigation was perfunctory, to say the least, and just 12 days after his murder an inquest jury decided he had "died by his own act".

That has always stuck in me, I would dearly like to see that case investigated. like the McConville case unless you get someone to publicly stand up and give evidence and provide proof, such cases go nowhere.
