His death provoked strong anti-British, pro-Irish republican reactions around the world. The Iranian government renamed Winston Churchill Boulevard, the location of the British Embassy in Tehran, to Bobby Sands Street. This forced the embassy to move its entrance door to Ferdowsi Street to avoid using Bobby Sands Street on its letterhead. 2/2

#OnThisDay #OTD #Ireland #Politics #History #HungerStrikes
Scanned text, reading: On Thursday 5th February seven weeks after the ending of a fifty-three day hunger-strike in the H-Blocks at Long Kesh, and a nineteen day hunger-strike by women prisoners at Armagh prison, a joint statement from both sets of prisoners was issued announcing another hunger-strike to begin on March 1st. The statement threatened that the prisoners would strike 'to death if necessary' to achieve recognition as political prisoners and a status in accord with that recognition.

The prisoners' statement ended weeks of speculation that a settlement to the four-and-a-half-year-long protest was possible and confirmed for the prisoners and their supporters that the British reneged on the hunger-strike settlements of December 18th last.

_The Evening Post_, 27 February 1925:
LOCAL AND GENERAL…
A #Wellington periodical recently published #photographs showing a number of infantile paralysis #patients who are under treatment at the Wellington Hospital. At yesterday’s meeting of the Hospital Board, exception to the photographs being published was taken by Mr. C. H. Chapman, who wanted to know who gave permission for the photographs to be taken. He voiced his strong disapproval of such photographs being permitted to be taken, and said he hoped that whoever had taken them would never be permitted to do so again. The chairman (Mr. F. Castle) said as far as he knew no member of the board gave authority. Mr. C. M. Luke stated that his committee intended to bring up the matter at its next meeting.
