Item Summary

This Irgun-published announcement provides an explanation and justification of the group's execution of British spies. It explains that the spies were executed based on a court verdict, not as revenge for the execution of three Irgun members. The announcement makes the anti-colonialist claim that this is the first instance in which British officials, who rule over continents, have been convicted in a court that replaces British authority with the authority of the legal owners of the British-occupied land.
