Relatives of the victims say they are disappointed that not all of those responsible are to face trial, but today’s protesters believe that British soldiers should receive immunity
Bikers have today protested in London and Belfast against the prosecution of a soldier who is due to face charges over Bloody Sunday.
The decision to prosecute Soldier F came about because the PPS believes there is sufficient evidence to provide a reasonable prospect of conviction, and that prosecution would be in the public interest. A decade-long investigation by Mark Saville concluded that the troops killed protesters who posed no threat.Organisers of today’s event said that the immunity granted to members of the IRA under the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 should extend to British soldiers who fought in the conflict.
