Board depicting the Gibraltar Three -- IRA members who were executed by the British Special Air Services in 1988 for allegedly planning a car bomb attack targeting British armed forces on Gibraltar. All three were unarmed when they were killed and no bomb was found in the vehicle they had been driving. They are buried in Milltown Cemetery, where their funeral was the site of a deadly attack by a loyalist paramilitary. Their execution was the subject of an inquest that ultimately went to the European Court of Human Rights, where the court found that the military operation that resulted in their deaths without their being charged or brought to trial was in violation of the European Convention on Human Rights.
