Forty-eight years on from January 72 as we prepare to march again for justice, we step back.  This panel discussion will explore the perspectives and experiences of three truth and justice campaigns in their long and arduous struggle with the British state in pursuit of answers and accountability for the killing of their loved ones and friends.

Bloody Sunday

Liam Wray (brother of Jim Wray, BSMC) will speak about where things are now at for the Bloody Sunday Families as they prepare for the forth coming prosecution of Paratrooper, soldier F, for the killing and wounding of relatives and friends on Bloody Sunday.


Ballymurphy

Briege Voyle will speak on where the campaign for justice is for the victims of the Ballymurphy families as it enters its 49th year.  Briege lost her mother Joan Connelly in the  three -day spree of killings in August 1971.  She was one of 11 civilians again killed by the parachute regiment.  It was 5 months before they were sent to Derry on Bloody Sunday.


Hillsborough

Finally Shiela Coleman (Hillsborough Justice Campaign ) will speak about the long struggle on behalf of the 96 Liverpool football fans who lost their lives at Hillsborough in 1989 and in particular speak about where the campaign now sees itself going in the light of the recent acquittal of the senior officer responsible for crowd control on the day, chief superintendent, David Duckenfield.
