Sheena Campbell remembered

Maskey spoke highly of a woman who was a dedicated and committed republican, “who would have been on our national leadership if she were alive today”.

ON TUESDAY 16th October, the 20^th anniversary of her assassination by loyalists, Sinn Féin activist Sheena Campbell was remembered in a candle-light vigil at the gates of Queen’s University Belfast.

The Lurgan woman was studying law at the Belfast institute when she was gunned down by a unionist death squad on October 16 1992.

Speaking at the event, organised by Queen’s Sinn Féin and the Mairead Farrell Republican Youth group, was Sinn Féin South Belfast assembly member Alex Maskey.

Maskey spoke highly of a woman who was a dedicated and committed republican, “who would have been on our national leadership if she were alive today”.

Both Sheena’s son and Caolan, and her partner Brendan Curran, travelled from Lurgan to attend the vigil.
