26th Jan- (Panel Discussion) End Impunity

Time: 4.00 pm

Venue:  Pilot’s Row Community Centre

End Impunity will explore the extent of the established pattern whereby the powerful and their agents are able to break the law and murder without fear of prosecution.  Looking specifically at the cases of Bloody Sunday and the murder of Pat Finucane and their respective campaigns for justice it will reflect on and explore stragegies to end such inpunity.

The speakers are:  Liam Wray whose brother Jim was murdered on Bloody Sunday.  John Finucane, solicitor and human rights campaigner whose father Pat was murdered by paid agents of the state.  The Finucane family recently rejected  the latest British Government review of their case.   Daniel Holder, Deputy Director of the Committee for the Administration of Justice, who have recently reported on this and other justice issues. And Gareth Peirce, solicitor and human rights campaigner who needs no introduction in Derry.  She defended among others the Birmingham Six, the Guildford Four and more recently Guantábano Bay internee Moazzam Begg.     She also delivered the Bloody Sunday Lecture in 2010 in the run up to the publication of the Inquiry’s Report.  The event will be chaired by activist, writer and journalist Eamonn McCann.

All welcome!
