A poco più di due settimane dalla pubblicazione del Rapporto Saville, il Segretario di Stato ha incontrato, ieri, i familiari delle vittime della Bloody Sunday

Owen Paterson, neo eletto Segretario di Stato, ha tenuto un incontro con i familiari delle vittime della Bloody Sunday per discutere delle modalità di pubblicazione (15 giugno) del Rapporto Saville, a 12 anni di distanza dall’apertura dell’omonima indagine.
“Abbiamo avuto una discussione molto interessante. Hanno posto buone domande, e hanno dato alcuni suggerimenti ragionevoli”, ha dichiarato Paterson.
“Io non ho dato una garanzia che porteremo avanti tutto, ma è stato utile”.

SoS meets Bloody Sunday families in Londonderry (BBBC News NOrthern Ireland)
Secretary of State Owen Paterson has met relatives of those killed on Bloody Sunday in Londonderry.
Mr Paterson discussed the arrangements for publication of the Saville report which is to be published on 15 June.
He said he was yet to be briefed on the report, but he would take the families requests on board.
“We had a very interesting discussion. They asked good questions, they made some sensible suggestions,” said Mr Paterson.
“I’ve not given a guarantee we will go ahead with everything, but it was helpful.
“We’re having very regular meetings on this subject. Every day we have meetings, and every day something new pops up.
“There were some helpful ideas today.”
Families of those who died or were injured, and the soldiers most directly involved, will be able to see it some hours before it is published.
Michael McKinney, whose brother Willie was killed on Bloody Sunday, said the relatives were pleased by what they heard from Mr Paterson.
However, he said relatives were concerned that family members who were not present at the pre-read would not have the opportunity to be briefed on the report before it was presented to parliament.
Mr Paterson will also meet the Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness and the Foyle MP, Mark Durkan in Derry on Thursday.
