The Five Demands

L’annuncio arriva dal Segretario di Stato Owen Paterson. Prima della pubblicazione, il rapporto verrà visionato dai familiari

Nessun pericolo per singoli individui o per la sicurezza nazionale, è stato rilevato dal team di verifica al vaglio del rapporto sulla morte dell’avvocato Rosemary Nelson uccisa a 40 anni, da una bomba lealista piazzata sotto la sua auto nel 1999.
Il rapporto, che verrà pubblicato integralmente il 23 maggio prossimo, è frutto dell’inchiesta costata 46,1 milioni di sterline presieduta da Sir Michael Morland, che ha visto un collegio di 3 giudici ascoltare 130 giorni di testimonianze.
In un messaggio alla House of Commosn,  Paterson ha dichiarato: “Il rapporto non è stato mostrato a me o a qualsiasi altro membro del governo, o ad uno qualsiasi dei funzionari, tranne i membri del piccolo team che ha effettuato il processo di verifica”.
“Non sono stato informato sui contenuti della relazione, né lo sono stati altri funzionari tranne quelli del team di verifica. Il Governo non avrà accesso alla relazione fino al giorno prima della pubblicazione”. Pubblicazione che avverrà solo dopo che i familiari di Rosemary Nelson, avranno preso visione del documento.

Rosemary Nelson Inquiry to be published on 23 May (BBC News Northern Ireland)
The findings of a public inquiry into the murder of Lurgan solicitor Rosemary Nelson will be made public later this month, the Secretary of State has confirmed.
Owen Paterson said the report will be shown to the Nelson family before it is published in full on 23 May.
Mrs Nelson, 40, died after a booby-trap bomb planted by loyalists exploded under her car in 1999.
An inquiry into allegations of security force collusion was held in 2009.
A panel of three judges heard 130 days of testimony. The Inquiry, which was chaired by Sir Michael Morland is understood to have cost about £46.1m.
The inquiry team had hoped to have its report completed by the end of April.
Mr Paterson said checks to ensure the report’s contents did not endanger any individual or compromise national security had been completed.
Mrs Nelson, a mother of three, was killed when a bomb planted by the Red Hand Defenders detonated under her car as she left her home in Lurgan on 15 March 1999.
The solicitor’s case came to international prominence when human rights groups, including representatives of the United Nations, raised fears for her safety following claims she was being intimidated by security force members and loyalist paramilitaries.
In a statement to the House of Commons, Mr Paterson said: “The report has not been shown to me or to any other member of the government, or to any officials except the members of the small team which carried out the checking process.
“I have not been briefed on the contents of the report, nor have any officials other than those in the checking team. Government will not have sight of the report until the day before it is published.”
A major police investigation, which was led by a senior police officer from England after objections to the probe being led by the Royal Ulster Constabulary, failed to charge anyone for the murder.
The police denied any allegations of wrong-doing.
The subsequent inquiry was one of a number ordered by the British and Irish governments.
