Sunday, March 11, 1923. Wrongful arrests.

100 members of the Irish Self Determination League were arrested in London, Glasgow and Liverpool, and subsequently deported to Ireland at Ireland's request.

Members of the League, which opposed the Anglo-Irish Treaty, even though the treaty had incorporated Irish self-determination, were either Irish by descent or birth. They subsequently sued and won on the basis that their deportations had been illegal.
