Sinn Fein off air and Guilford Four freed

On this day, October 19, 1988 the British government imposed a broadcasting ban on Sinn Féin, 11 republican organisations and Ulster loyalist paramilitaries.

And on the same day the following year, October 19, 1989 the convictions of the Guilford Four were quashed. They had spent 15 years behind bars.
