Anti-Fascist Action Ireland has brought to my attention that the anniversary of anti-fascist protester Kevin Gately’s death was yesterday.
Kevin Gately, a second year student of mathematics at the University of Warwick, was killed by the police in Red Lion Square, London, during an anti-National Front demonstration on 15 June 1974
Gatley, who was born in England of Irish parents, was the first person to be killed on a public political demonstration in Great Britain in 55 years.
The University of Warwick has an article on Kevin and here is a BBC article.
