John Kelly , whose brother Michael died during Bloody Sunday, during a press conference in reaction to the Bloody Sunday prosecution announcement. Photo by Charles McQuillan/Getty, who was injured on Bloody Sunday, said the announcement was a “vindication” of the families “decades-long campaign to clear the names of our loved ones and to bring those responsible for their deaths and injuries to justice.
“We would like to remind everyone that no prosecution, or if it comes to it, no conviction, does not mean not guilty. It does not mean that no crime was committed. It does not mean that those soldiers acted “in a dignified and appropriate way.” But, for us here today, it is important to point out that justice for one family is justice for all of us.”The solicitor for the Bloody Sunday families has said they will give “detailed consideration” to the Public Prosecution Service decision not to prosecuted other soldiers in connection with Bloody Sunday.
