Liam Holden The Last Man Sentenced To Hang In The UK Has His Murder Conviction Quashed

Mr Liam Holden was wrongly convicted of the murder of a Private Bell in 1972. Mr Holden was arrested by soldiers from the Parachute Regiment and taken to a army barracks. He was pinned to the floor by six men, a thick towel was held over his face and soldiers started pouring water on it. “What the soldiers did to me...water torture, hooding, putting the gun to my head, no one will ever get a real feeling of what it is like, it is like a slow drowning sensation.”

Mr Holden was also taken to Loyalist area of Belfast by British soldiers and told he would be shot unless he confessed to the murder.
