Le reazioni di rabbia della gente di Derry e di altre parti dell’Irlanda ai commenti di alcuni politici britannici alla notizia che 4 soldati britannici responsabili della morte di 13 persone alla Bloody Sunday potrebbero essere accusati di omicidio

Il Derry Journal ha raccolto una serie di testimonianze di politici, scrittori, personaggi noti, gente comune e di un ex ufficiale della polizia, fortemente contrarie alla esternazioni dei politici britannici, tra cui spicca il nome di Boris Johnson. Nei giorni scorsi il Daily Telegraph aveva rivelato che 4 dei soldati coinvolti nella Bloody Sunday potrebbero essere presto accusati di omicidio. Johnson sostiene si tratterebbe di una decisione politica.

28 civilians shot on Bloody Sunday.
14 killed.
No warnings given.
Soldiers didn't fire in response to attack.
Judicial Inquiry: 'Unjustified and unjustifiable.'
British PM apologised and said many of the soldiers lied about their actions.

But its now all 'political correctness' https://t.co/nc0QSmvWNX

The perpetrators of Bloody Sunday should be prosecuted, and it should have happened fifty years ago. Thanks.

Bloody Sunday was UK's Tiananmen Square. British soldiers chased unarmed civil rights protestrs & shot 28 of them – mostly in the back. Of those 14 died, incl 6 children. When those tasked with enforcing the law wrecklessly break the law, they must face the full force of that law pic.twitter.com/MOurpe4ukK

UK closes ranks on Bloody Sunday soldiers.#SundayTimesIE reports that plans to introduce a 10-year limit on cases will mean soldiers will be protected from prosecution for alleged historic offences. #SundayTimesIreland pic.twitter.com/6VtSEOQXeX

Bernard McEldowney – ex ufficiale di polizia di Derry

You are a silly woman . I was raised in Derry. I was 14 years old when Bloody Sunday happened. I was not at the march but heard the shooting that resulted in 14 innocent people being murdered by British soldiers and many others wounded. Victims of Bloody Sunday need justice !

From Derry, Ireland to Selma, Alabama the struggle for human rights is universally linked together.

The Primary definition of any civilised Nation is that it holds itself to higher moral standards than any non nation protagonist. Failure to adhere to this renders the state rogue.

It sends the message that no matter how many years pass by, no matter how old the murderers are that justice will indeed be done… lies, collusion & coverups have 'trumped' justice & the truth for 47 yrs… no more.. #Truth4Justice #Justice4Closure

Oh, I don't know, maybe sends the signal that unarmed, innocent participants who were UK citizens on a march for civil rights within the UK, have the right not to be shot dead by the army? That the rule of law applies to everyone? That no one is ultra vires? https://t.co/IPuI28VNWC
