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 (15[1])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. (15[2])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■
