Question
It’s not Silesia, but the Hennessy Report investigated the cause of the “Great Escape” from a prison in this region. A report citing the fear that jury members may be threatened led to the establishment of “Diplock courts” in this region. The “Hooded Men” were fourteen prisoners in this region subjected to the “five techniques” of deep interrogation as part of a mass arrest known as Operation Demetrius. Prisoners in this region wore (*) blankets instead of uniforms to protest the revocation of their “Special Category Status.” A nickname for a prison in this region was used in the name of the “Anti H-Block” party. The HM Prison Maze in this region was the site of a 1981 hunger strike during which Bobby Sands starved himself to death. For 10 points, name this region where many paramilitaries were arrested during the Troubles. ■END■
