'After 47 years, this is a moment': Anxious wait for Bloody Sunday families as Derry awaits announcement
Liam Wray, whose 22-year-old older brother Jim was killed by paratroopers on #BloodySunday says this week - as his and other family’s 47 year fight for justice for victims could come to a conclusion - is ‘full of anxiety, fear and hope’ over soldier prosecutions #Derry pic.twitter.
“There is an anticipation and anxiety,” he says. “After 47 years obviously this is a moment in time that our family have, from day one, always demanded happen. It will be a big day when we hear the news and we just hope that it won’t be a big disappointment. A second investigation, the Saville Inquiry, was set up in 1998; in 2010 the report was published, and found that the killings were both “unjustified” and “unjustifiable”. The Prime Minister at the time David Cameron apologised on behalf of the UK.
She has since repeatedly apologised for her remarks, in the media and to the House of Commons, saying that she did not mean what she said. Kate Nash lost her brother William on Bloody Sunday. The 19-year-old dock worker was shot in the chest near the Rossville Street barricade. His dad Alex saw his son being shot and went to help him, and was then shot himself.
“I hear politicians talking about jailing this one and that one, but not soldiers, because they shouldn’t have to face that. What makes them special that they shouldn’t have to face it?
