Target: Wales
Region: Wales
Background (Preamble):
In 1831 Dic Penderyn/Richard Lewis the leader of the Merthyr Uprising was accused, tried, and executed in Cardiff Prison for a crime that he did not commit. He was then buried by the authorities at a secret Welsh location in order to prevent his grave becoming a shrine to the cause of freedom.
We would like to see his body exhumed then reburied in Merthyr Tydfil, the town that loved him.
