THE CATALPA RESCUE: THE GREATEST ESCAPE IN IRISH HISTORY 📆THURSDAY 6TH AUGUST, 3PM 📍ST MARY’S UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, FALLS ROAD This year marks the 150th anniversary of one of Irish history’s boldest prison breaks. In 1876, a small crew of Irish and American Fenians, masterminded by John Devoy, sailed a humble whaling ship across three oceans to snatch six prisoners from Fremantle Jail right under the British Empire’s nose. A thrilling one hour roller-coaster ride of secret plans, huge risks and narrow escapes, powered by “Irish skill and pluck and Yankee grit” told by independent historian Marcus Howard. Free event. No booking required.

50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ENDING OF SPECIAL CATEGORY STATUS 📆TUESDAY 4TH AUGUST, 1PM 📍ST MARY’S UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, FALLS ROAD On 1st March 1976, the British Government ended Special Category Status, decreeing that all political prisoners sentenced thereafter would be treated as criminals under a new prison regime. This policy sought to strip prisoners of political recognition by forcing them to wear prison uniforms, carry out prison labour, and submit to criminal status. When sentenced on 14th September 1976, Kieran Nugent refused to wear the prison uniform, declaring: “If they want me to wear a uniform, they will have to nail it to my back.” His stand marked the beginning of the Blanket Protest and symbolised resistance to the British Government’s criminalisation policy outlined in the Gardiner Report. Seán Murray, Sile Darragh and Kieran McEvoy will discuss its genesis and consequences 50 years on.

EVENT CANCELLED – FRANCESCA ALBANESE: WHILE THE WORLD SLEEPS Belfast IPSC is deeply sorry to announce that the planned event with Francesca Albanese, “While the World Sleeps: Western Complicity in Genocide,” due to take place at Féile an Phobail on Thursday 30 July, has had to be cancelled. We know how many people were looking forward to welcoming Francesca to Belfast and supporting the Belfast launch of her book, While the World Sleeps. We share that deep disappointment and offer our sincere apologies to everyone who had planned to attend. Francesca has shown extraordinary courage and clarity in exposing genocide, apartheid, occupation and Western complicity. Her work as UN Special Rapporteur has made her the target of an unprecedented campaign of political pressure, including the sanctions imposed upon her by the United States in 2025. Those measures, and the wider attempts to obstruct and intimidate her, have caused serious practical disruption around her work and international engagements. While this particular event cannot now proceed, our efforts to bring Francesca to Belfast are continuing. Belfast IPSC remains in direct communication with Francesca’s team, and we are actively exploring a suitable opportunity for her to visit Belfast in the near future. We hope to welcome her for an in-person public event and Belfast book launch as soon as circumstances permit. There also remains a strong programme of Palestine solidarity events throughout Féile an Phobail, and we encourage everyone to continue supporting them. Although we are deeply disappointed that Francesca cannot join us on 30 July, the programme across Féile provides important opportunities to hear Palestinian voices, challenge complicity and strengthen solidarity with the Palestinian people. We thank Francesca and her team for their continued communication and support, and Féile an Phobail, St Mary’s University College and everyone who worked to organise the event. Once again, we sincerely apologise for the disappointment and inconvenience caused. In solidarity, Belfast Branch - Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign
