 The Men Behind the Wire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Men Behind the Wire is an Irish republican song composed in the aftermath of the imposition of Internment without trial of some Irish republicans associated with Provisional Sinn Féin (now known simply as Sinn Féin), as well as others unconnected with militant republicanism who had been arrested by mistake in Northern Ireland in 1971.
Nearly all active republicans seemed to have prior knowledge of the arrests and escaped arrest.
In other words, it was a call for the nationalist community to show 'solidarity' with the 'men behind the wire' of Long Kesh.

 Guardian | Behind the wire, refugees forced to give up the fight
The fight went out of al-Ayn refugee camp at dawn, and the men came out with their hands in the air, after a punishing Israeli bombardment forced them to the cruellest of choices: death or surrender.
Hundreds of men in al-Ayn camp reached the same conclusion yesterday after the most intensive assault on the camp since Israeli forces entered Nablus: five straight hours under the percussive beat of tank fire, and the hiss and thunder of missiles fired from helicopter gunships.
A few of the children strutted up to the concertina wire hoping to be considered big enough to surrender as well, but were swatted back by their fathers, or turned aside with a swift swivel of a gun from the Israeli soldiers.

The fresh razor wire along the top, coils gleaming in the sunshine, gives a hint of importance, but the entrance is simply a hinged hole in the fence.
As we turn a corner into the corridor that connects all the central facilities of the compound, there are suddenly men with unshaven faces and more flip-flops worn with thick socks: shuffling past, standing around, hunched over payphones, sitting smoking on benches out in the small yard in the weak English sunshine.
Every few yards, there is a guard in a blazer, with his first name on a lapel badge followed by a number, pacing and watching.

 LM: ITN on trial
Five years ago, ITN's images of emaciated men behind barbed wire convinced the world that the Serbs were running Nazi-style concentration camps in Bosnia.
The hidden truth behind it was that there was no barbed wire fence surrounding the refugee and transit camp at Trnopolje, and no barbed wire encircling Fikret Alic and the other Bosnian Muslims.
Far from correcting the international interpretation of their pictures as evidence of Nazi-style atrocities, ITN advertised it and even revelled in it, at the same time acting as if this overnight international consensus on the existence of concentration camps had nothing to do with the way they presented their reports the night before.
