In migliaia hanno marciato dai Creggan Shops di Derry fino al Free Derry Corner, in occasione del 47° Anniversario della Bloody Sunday del 30 gennaio 1972
Come ogni anno si è tenuta la Bloody Sunday March for Justice, manifestazione culmine di una serie di eventi, in commemorazione del 47° anniversario della strage di civili per mano del Reggimento Paracadutisti del Bristish Army.
Quattordici furono le vittime.
Nonostante il Rapporto Saville, che nel 2010 stabili che tutte le vittime e i feriti erano innocenti; nonostante le scuse ufficiali da parte del governo britannico, che per bocca dell’allora Primo Ministro David Cameron, dichiarò quanto accaduto “Ingiustificato ed ingiustificabile“; nonostante le indagini aperte dalla PSNI a cui è seguita un’inchiesta del PPS, i familiari sono ancora in attesa che giustizia sia fatta.
Il Rapporto Saville, costato 195 milioni di sterline, la più lunga e costosa inchiesta britannica, dimostrò che:
Nessuna delle vittime aveva rappresentato una minaccia o ha fatto qualcosa che giustificasse la loro uccisione
Nessun avvertimento era stato dato a nessuno dei civili, prima che i soldati aprissero il fuoco
Nessuno dei soldati ha sparato in risposta ad attacchi con molotov o lanci di pietre
Alcuni di quelli uccisi o feriti stavano chiaramente fuggendo o andando ad aiutare persono già ferite o morenti
Molti dei soldati hanno mentito sulle loro azioni
La marcia di ieri, 30 gennaio, ha contato migliaia di presenze, che hanno seguito il percorso originario della marcia per i diritti civili del 30 gennaio 1972, per poi terminare al Free Derry Corner, con il consueto discorso a conclusione della manifestazione.
Come ogni anno, la Bloody Sunday March for Justice è occasione per ricordare anche altri casi tutt’ora irrisolti, tra cui il Massacro di Ballymurphy e il più recente caso di ‘errore giudiziario’, quello dei Craigavon 2.
Kate Nash al centro, baluardo della campagna per la giustizia sulla Bloody Sunday
Kate Nash, sorella di William ucciso a colpi d’arma da fuoco in Rossville Street il 30 gennaio 1972, ha dichiarato a UTV News: “Facciamo in modo che le cose inizino e procedano, abbiamo aspettato 47 anni, quindi sarebbe bello mettere finalmente la parola fine”.
