Solidarity with the Bloody Sunday families. Today and always.

The Bloody Sunday Murder Trial Shows the Reality of British Justice — by John Finucane MP tribunemag.co.uk/2025/10/the-... @finucanecentre.bsky.social

As we await a verdict in the trial of Soldier F, another reminder that in 2010 the Bloody Sunday inquiry found - the killings were unjustified - none of the 14 dead (7 of whom were children) had guns - no warnings were given - no soldiers were under threat - the troops were the first to open fire

Our thoughts with Bloody Sunday families now as court finds former British paratrooper Soldier F not guilty of murders that day in 1972. We @humanrightsfirst.org will continue to stick with families looking for justice from N Ireland conflict @cjharvey1.bsky.social #speirgorm
