The leader of the Northern Irish Republican Army, Bobby Sands, was arrested for leading a demonstration against the authorities. In Metz prison, he still did not give up the struggle. The prison is full of six square meters of closed cells, where prisoners of the Northern Irish Republican Army are held. They are naked and refused to wear prison clothes, in order to fight against Margaret Hilda Thatcher's decree depriving prisoners of their rights. They used dirty food and excrement to cover the ditch under the deformed door to convey the message. Through a smug radio, the prisoners were able to keep abreast of the news of the Republican Army's struggle with the British government. In the end, when Sands decided to fight on a hunger strike, he had a wonderful debate with Father Dominic Moran, but the result was not helpful.
