Kesh

The 2002 motion came just months after the death of 14-year-old Julie Louise Meldrum from Kesh, County Fermanagh.

The “articles of faith” that Sikhs wear include: kesh, or unshorn hair; kanga, a small comb; a steel bracelet called a kara; the kirpan, which resembles a small knife; and underwear known as kachera.

Mr Adams had been found guilty of two attempts to escape from lawful custody while being held without trial at the Maze Prison - then known as Long Kesh internment camp - in 1973 and 1974.

One tactic was internment without trial, mainly of suspected Republican activists, at a former Royal Air Force based outside Belfast, then known as Long Kesh.

He had been relocated from a prison in England to the Maze, or Long Kesh as republicans call it, at the time of the first IRA ceasefire in 1994.
