JAMES CONNOLLY 110th ANNIVERSARY
In the early hours of May 12th 1916, #JamesConnolly, was taken by stretcher from Dublin Castle to the stonebreakers yard in #Kilmainham Jail, strapped to a wooden chair, and executed by a #BritishArmy firing squad.
James Connolly was a Marxist, a patriot, an internationalist and the leader of the revolutionary working class in the #EasterRising. His execution was among the blackest crimes of imperialism against #Ireland and the international socialist movement.
