HUNDREDS TAKE PART IN 45TH BLOODY SUNDAY ANNIVERSARY

January 30, 2017
ShareTweet

AROUND several hundred people took part yesterday in a march to mark the 45th anniversary of Bloody Sunday.

The march followed the original route of the 1972 civil rights demonstration which ended with 13 people being shot dead by British soldiers from the Parachute Regiment.

The march ended at Free Derry Corner where Kate Nash, whose brother William was among those killed on Bloody Sunday, spoke to the crowd.

Sheila Coleman, from the group which campaigns on behalf of the 96 Liverpool fans killed at Hillsbrough stadium in 1989, also spoke at the event.

Detectives from the PSNI’s Legacy Investigation Branch announced last August that it had completed its investigations to the Bloody Sunday murders.

It interviewed former members of the Parachute Regiment in England and has now set its report to the Public Prosecution Service.

The PPS will now decide on whether to bring charges or not.

A decision on possible prosecutions is expected to be announced in the coming months.
