PSNI submits file to PPS over alleged Bloody Sunday ‘procession’

Bloody Sunday relatives and local politicians arrive at Bishop Street courthouse in Derry to hear judge’s ruling in August 2023

The PSNI has forwarded a file to the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) over an alleged “unnotified procession” by Bloody Sunday families.

The families, accompanied by members of the SDLP, Sinn Féin, walked around 150 metres to Bishop Street courthouse for a hearing in relation to ‘Soldier F’ — the Paratrooper accused of two murders on Bloody Sunday.

Bloody Sunday families found out last month that Soldier F would be put on trial accused of murdering William McKinney and James Wray and for five attempted murders in Derry on January 30, 1972.

A written complaint was made to a PSNI Assistant Chief Constable by loyalist Jamie Bryson.

The complaint alleges that some of the victims of Bloody Sunday, and in particular the victims of Soldier F, as well as public figures who have supported the families and those wounded for many years, may have taken part in an unlawful procession close to the area of Bishop Street Courthouse on August 25, 2022.

SDLP leader and Foyle MP Colum Eastwood walked out of Strand Road police station in Derry last month after being asked to attend an interview under caution for walking with Bloody Sunday relatives to Derry Magistrates’ Court for the hearing.

Mr Eastwood has said nothing would stop him standing with the Bloody Sunday families in their campaign for justice.

In a statement, the PSNI said: “The police investigation has concluded, and a file has been submitted to the Public Prosecution Service on Wednesday, January 3, 2024.

“It would be inappropriate to make any further comment at this time.”

A PPS spokesperson confirmed a file had been received, saying: “We received an investigation file from police on January 3, 2024, reporting seven individuals in relation to an alleged incident in Londonderry on August 25, 2023.

“A decision will be issued as quickly as possible.”
