SALE A 14 IL NUMERO DEI DISAPPEARED
Il nome di Peter Wilson si aggiunge alla lista dei Disappeared
L’Independent Commission for the Location of Victims’ Remains ha rivelato l’inizio delle indagini sulla scomparsa di Peter Wilson, sparito nei primi anni ’70 dalla sua casa sita nell’area St James a West Belfast.
La convinzione è che sia stato rapito ed assassinato dall’IRA.
E’ stato il portavoce della commissione a confermare di aver ricevuto la segnalazione di questo altro caso, che porta il numero dei Disappeared a 14.
Con il termine ‘Disappeared’ (o Troubles’ Disappeared) si identificano persone improvvisamente scomparse, usualmente rapite e uccise principalmente dall’Irish Republican Army (IRA), in Irlanda del Nord tra il 1972 e il 1986. Nel 1999 fu lo stesso gruppo paramilitare repubblicano a confermare la responsabilità di 9 delle sparizioni.
Le ricerche del corpo di Peter Wilson sono solo nella loro fase iniziale.
Man may be among the Disappeared (BBC News Northern Ireland)
The Independent Commission for the Location of Victims’ Remains is investigating the disappearance of another man in the early 1970s.
Peter Wilson went missing from his west Belfast home and it is reported that he may have been abducted and murdered by the IRA.
A spokesman for the commission has confirmed that it has received a report of another case.
It is believed the commission has met with Mr Wilson’s family.
Friday’s Irish News said Mr Wilson had been 21 when he went missing from his home in the St James area in the west of the city.
It is understood that the investigation is in its very early stages.
The inclusion of Mr Wilson on the list of the Disappeared would bring to 14 the number of people abducted and murdered in secret by republicans, all but one of them by the IRA.
That organisation has publicly said it was involved in nine of the killings, but has not admitted its role in the others.
