IN MIGLIAIA ALLA BLOODY SUNDAY COMMEMORATION MARCH

Sono stati migliaia i partecipanti alla Bloody Sunday Commemoration March che domenica 1 febbraio 2009 ha sfilato per le strade di Derry arrestandosi in William Street, nello stesso in punto in cui venne bloccata la marcia di 37 anni fa dal reggimento dei paracadutisti del British Army.
E’ stato lì che la parola è passato ai rappresentanti delle famiglie delle vittime, ai membri di Sinn Fein e SDLP. Tutte voci concordi nel sollecitare la pubblicazione del rapporto sulla Bloody Sunday stilato da Lord Saville e la sua consegna in simultanea al Segretario di Stato britannico ed alle famiglie delle vittime, per impedire eventuali interferenze.
Alla marcia sono comparse anche numerose bandiere palestinesi in segno di solidarietà con il popolo della striscia di Gaza.

Thousands of people took part in the annual Bloody Sunday commemoration march in Derry on Sunday and heard calls for the report into the 1972 massacre to be published this year.
The march finished at William Street at the spot where the original parade was stopped by British Army paratroopers 37 years ago, and heard representatives of the Bloody Sunday families, as well as Sinn Féin and SDLP politicians, call for Lord Saville’s report to be given to the families at the he same time as the British Government receives it.
Julieann Campbell, representing the Bloody Sunday Families said; “When the British Government announced this inquiry we were promised that it would be open and transparent. We demand that this applies to the publication of the final report. The British Government should not be given the chance to interfere with it before the world sees it.”
Challenging Lord Saville, Sinn Féin MEP Bairbre deBrún said; “He must ensure that 2009 is the year that his report is published. He must also ensure that his report is delivered to the families at the same time as the British Secretary of State.
SDLP MLA Alban Maginnis echoed her call saying; “We hope and pray that your long campaign is nearing its end. We say unambiguously that there must be no more delays. This must be the year in which the Saville Report is published – and seen first by the families, not just the British Government and their lawyers,” he added.
Many of those attending the march carried Palestinian flags in show of solidarity with the people of Gaza.

    When will we hear about General Sir Mike Jackson’s involvement in the bloody sunday massacre. He went on to become the head of the British army. he was also the ground commander on the day. How did he get to the top? Why was he saved? With whom was he in collusion
