Nationalists should remember those suffering for their beliefs at
the present time in the various Celtic countries, the annual Illiam
Dhone commemoration was told.
Manx nationalists had gathered on January 2nd at Hango Hill on the
Isle of Man where seventeenth century patriot, Illiam Dhone (William
Christian), was executed by the English.
The Secretary General of the Celtic League in his concluding remarks
to the gathering urged those present to remember those imprisoned
today in the Celtic countries and specifically highlighted the plight
of the Breton prisoners, some of whom have now been in prison almost
four years awaiting trial.
The Illiam Dhone commemoration is jointly organised by Mec Vannin
(The Manx Nationalist Party) and the Manx branch of the Celtic League.
