Irish Political Prisoner Wins Bail  
After months of worldwide protests demanding her release, a British judge finally granted Roísín McAliskey bail June 3. Framed-up on allegations of involvement in an Irish Republic Army bombing of a British base in Germany, McAliskey had been held in prison throughout her pregnancy. Despite health problems, she was only allowed to go to a hospital May 23, three days before giving birth. Above, 100 people picket British consulate in New York on May 31.
