Birmingham Six: Paddy Hill dies aged 80

Mr Hill founded the Glasgow-based MOJO after his release, helping others who were imprisoned despite being innocent of the crimes they were accused of.

MOJO said its condolences were with Mr Hill’s family “at this sad time”.

“We ask that you respect the family’s privacy,” the statement added.

“May he rest in eternal peace.”

Speaking in 2017, Mr Hill said an apology from a man who said he was part of the group who planted the bombs was insulting to those bereaved.

The other members of the Birmingham Six are Gerry Hunter, Johnny Walker, Hugh Callaghan, Richard McIlkenny and Billy Power.

Mr Callaghan died in 2023 aged 93, and Mr McIlkenny died in 2006 aged 73.
