Gerry Adams has won a Supreme Court appeal in London against two convictions for attempting to escape from the Maze Prison in the 1970s.
Judges agreed the former Sinn Fein leader's detention was unlawful because it hadn't been 'considered personally' by the then Northern Ireland secretary.
The convictions have been quashed, and Gerry Adams has welcomed the judgement.
He says he has no regrets about his imprisonment, except for the time he was separated from his family.
