- Free Derry was a self-declared autonomous nationalist area of Derry, Northern Ireland, between 1969 and 1972. Its name was taken from a sign painted on a gable wall in the Bogside in January 1969 which read, “You are now entering Free Derry". The area, which included the Bogside and Creggan neighbourhoods, was secured by community activists for the first time on 5 January 1969 following an incursion into the Bogside by members of the police force, the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC). Residents built barricades and carried clubs and similar arms to prevent the RUC from entering. After six days the residents took down the barricades and police patrols resumed, but tensions remained high over the following months. Violence reached a peak on 12 August 1969, culminating in the Battle of the Bogside—a three day pitched battle between residents and police. On 14 August units of the British Army were deployed at the edge of the Bogside and the police were withdrawn. The Derry Citizens Defence Association (DCDA) declared their intention to hold the area against both the police and the army until their demands were met. The army made no attempt to enter the area. The situation continued until October 1969 when, following publication of the Hunt Report, military police were allowed in. The Irish Republican Army (IRA) began to re-arm and recruit after August 1969. In January 1970 it split into the Official IRA and the Provisional IRA. Both were supported by the people of the Free Derry area. Meanwhile, relations between the British Army and the nationalist community, which were initially good, deteriorated. In July 1971 there was a surge of recruitment into the IRA after two young men were shot and killed by British troops. The government introduced internment on 9 August 1971, and in response, barricades went up once more in the Bogside and Creggan. This time, Free Derry was a no-go area, defended by armed members of both the Official and Provisional IRA. From within the area they mounted gun attacks on the army, and the Provisionals began a bombing campaign in the city centre. As before, unarmed 'auxiliaries' manned the barricades, and crime was dealt with by a voluntary body known as the Free Derry Police. Support for the IRA increased further after Bloody Sunday in January 1972, when fourteen unarmed people were shot dead by British troops at a march in the Bogside. The support began to wane after the killing by the Official IRA of a local youth who was home on leave from the British Army. After a Provisional IRA ceasefire, during which it entered talks with the British Government, broke down, the British took the decision to move against the "no-go" areas. Free Derry came to an end on 31 July 1972, when thousands of troops moved in with armoured cars and bulldozers to occupy the area.
- Free Derry, o Derry Libre, fue un área nacionalista irlandesa autoproclamada autónoma en Derry, entre 1969 y 1972, en el contexto del conflicto de Irlanda del Norte. Su extensión comprendía, de modo irregular, la de dos barrios católicos de las afueras de la ciudad, Bogside y Creggan.
- Free Derry, Derry Libre (SaorDhoire en irlandais) était une enclave nationaliste, auto-déclarée autonome, de Derry entre 1969 et 1972. Ce nom provient d'une peinture d'un pignon de mur dans le Bogside en janvier 1969 : “You are now entering Free Derry" ("Vous entrez maintenant dans Derry Libre"). L'enclave, qui incluait les quartiers du Bogside et de Creggan, était sécurisée par des activistes de la communautés pour la première fois le 5 janvier 1969 faisant suite à une incursion dans le Bogside de membres des forces de police, les Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC). Les résidents érigèrent des barricades et préparèrent des pierres et autres armes pour empêcher les RUC d'entrer. Après six jours, les résidents démontèrent les barricades et les patrouilles policières reprirent, mais la tension resta élevé pendant les mois qui suivirent. Les violences connurent un pic le 12 août 1969, culminant durant la Bataille du Bogside - une bataille de trois jours, particulièrement dure, entre les résidents et la police. Le 14 août, des unités de l'Armée britannique furent déployées à l'entrée du Bogside et la police se replia. Le Derry Citizens Defence Association (l'Association de Défence des Citoyens de Derry) - DCDA - déclara son intention de tenir l'enclave contre la police et l'armée tant que leurs revendications ne seraient pas acceptées. L'armée ne tenta pas d'entrer dans l'enclave. La situation perdura jusqu'en octobre 1969 quand, après la publication du rapport Hunt, la police militaire fut autorisée à y entrer.
- Free Derry är benämningen på det nationalistiska område i staden Derry på Nordirland som förklarade sig självständigt mellan 1969 - 1972 och utgjorde i praktiken en fristat, ungefär som Christiania i Köpenhamn. Områdets invånare byggde barrikader och beväpnade sig för att hindra polis och militär från att inta området. Provisoriska IRA försvarade området med ledare såsom Martin McGuinness
