from Amnesty International, March 19, 2015"Amnesty International is deeply saddened at news of the death of Gerry McKerr, announced today.
Gerry McKerr was one of the fourteen Hooded Men, interned and tortured by the security forces in Northern Ireland in 1971.
Gerry McKerr took part in Amnesty International events in Dublin and Belfast in December 2014 as part of the campaign to have the Ireland v UK case reopened by the European Court of Human Rights. That month the Irish Government announced that it would request a revisiting of the 1978 decision by the Strasbourg court after new evidence emerged suggesting that the UK had withheld vital evidence."
