Hugh Callaghan, one of the Birmingham Six, has died aged 93
HUGH CALLAGHAN, ONE of the ‘Birmingham Six’, who were wrongly imprisoned for IRA bombings, has died aged 93.
Each of the six men were given life sentences for the bombings, which killed 21 people and injured 182 more. Their first appeal of their convictions was rejected in January 1987. Journalist and Labour MP Chris Mullin helped the men prove their innocence and they were released in 1991. “We loved and admired him very much and all of us are so proud that he was a part of our lives. He was a man with astonishing strength of character,” the statement said.“Despite the profound injustice he endured, he was not bitter or angry, but joyful and always ready to sing. His party piece was Danny Boy, and his voice was magnificent and strong right to end, with the last day of his life spent with his beloved Adeline and singing to the nurses in hospital.
