Shared from Relatives for Justice page - an excellent summary by Mark Thompson of the current progress, or lack of, in investigations into the British state killings and cases of collusion in Ireland. Below is a link to one our live recording songs as we, and the crowd, sing in remembrance to one of those cases cited in the article, The Loughgall Ambush. youtu.be/pev6ltXwREk We would recommend reading it in its entirety, here are a few excerpts: A series of landmark rulings by the European Court have heavily criticized how the British government failed to investigate disputed and controversial killings involving its forces and agents. The State was killing people when there existed ample opportunity for safe and effective arrest and the administration of justice under the rule of law yet decide to dispense with due process. In the face of having to make changes, which would otherwise lift the lid on these killings, the UK has now resorted to delaying the investigations into these killings using a ‘lack of resources’ argument. Put simply this masks a more strategic rearguard approach aimed at curbing scrutiny of State actions. More recently the UK government, in a response to a submission by RFJ to the Committee of Ministers to the Council of Europe, said that the matter of resolving these cases rested with the local parties and Executive. This is disingenuous. It was as a consequence of the overall security policy and practices of the UK government in London that these killings occurred. https://facebook/permalink.php?story_fbid=559367320861004&id=212527532211653
