  • Joseph Patrick Thomas „Joe“ Doherty (* 20. Januar 1955 in Belfast, Nordirland) ist ein ehemaliger Freiwilliger der Provisional IRA. Nach seiner Flucht aus einem Gefängnis in Belfast 1981 wurde er in Abwesenheit wegen Mordes am SAS-Offizier Herbert Westmacott zu lebenslanger Haft verurteilt. Er konnte sich in die USA absetzen, wo er 1983 vom FBI verhaftet wurde und anschließend letztlich erfolglos über neun Jahre gegen seine Auslieferung und Deportation nach Großbritannien ankämpfte. 1998 wurde er in Nordirland aus der Haft entlassen und widmete sich fortan Friedensprojekten. Insgesamt verbrachte er rund 23 Jahre in Gefängnissen. Von der IRA hatte er sich 1987 losgesagt. (de)
