IL BOSTON COLLEGE RESISTE: “CONSEGNARE QUEI DOCUMENTI COMPROMETTEREBBE IL PROCESSO DI PACE”
Fishing in BC’s archives (Boston.com)
BOSTON COLLEGE is currently resisting efforts by the security forces in Northern Ireland to force it to hand over part of its oral history archive on the Irish Republican Army, and as well it should. This attempt to violate the college’s files could have disastrous consequences for oral historians and their close cousins in the media. It also could be immensely destructive to the peace process in Northern Ireland.
The subpoenas that have been served are based on an unproven assertion: that an interview given to the college by a former Irish Republican Army activist, Dolours Price, could shed light on a 40-year-old murder and should be surrendered.
