An Fhuiseog - The Lark, takes its name from the writings of Bobby Sands. Bobby Sands was a republican prisoner in the H-Blocks, Long Kesh. The republican prisoners in the H-Blocks and their women comrades in Armagh Prison were protesting against British Government attempts to criminalise them and the struggle they were part of. ‘The Lark and The Freedom Fighter’ is one of a number of short stories Bobby wrote and smuggled out of prison during his time ‘On the Blanket’.
