Northern Ireland - Bloody Sunday

Описание: (1 Feb 1997) T/I 10:35:31


Preparations were underway on Saturday (1/2) in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, for a march on Sunday to commemorate the fourteen people who were killed in shooting by British paratroopers on "Bloody Sunday" in 1972 by British soldiers.
The deaths came during what had started as a nationalist, mostly-Catholic march against internment, but which turned into a pivotal incident which polarised the British province's Protestant and Catholic communities. Thirteen people were killed at the scene, and one man died six months later from his wounds.

Once when he was already lying wounded ; there was no evidence that he was in the march against the internment. He was murdered. There is no other way to put it. He was murdered. And i'm looking for justice. I want the guilty brought to book and I want to prosecute. I want the government that says it's my government to pursue that matter. That is my demand"
