Bloody Sunday: No perjury charges against former soldiers

Fifteen former soldiers investigated for perjury over Bloody Sunday will not face any charges, the Bloody Sunday families have said.

A Public Prosecution Service (PPS) announcement is expected later.

The Bloody Sunday families were informed of the decision on Friday morning.

Prosecutors have been deciding if charges will be brought against 15 former soldiers and an alleged IRA member

Thirteen people were shot dead when soldiers opened fire on marchers during a civil rights march in Londonderry on 30 January 1972.

  1. Somehow prosecuting perjury from murderers and accomplices will be judged to be ‘not in the public interest’.

    The public of course doesn’t care about justice. /s

  2. Well at least Michelle apologised on the behalf of the RA, though looking at this it’s kinda hard to tell who’s the standing army and who’s the paramilitaries

  3. “Soldiers” don’t they mean “terrorists”?

  4. tax paid terrorists, “Utrinque Paratus” …ready for anything. just not truth or integrity

  5. Ok. Now let’s get the ball rolling on some prosecution trials for murder please and thank you. This is very much in the interest of the public

  6. They’d do a Bloody Sunday again no problem if they had the chance

  7. I feel so bad for the victim’s families. It must be exhausting and frustrating to have justice blocked over and over.

  8. Who’d have thought that a state with plenty to hide would be unable to effectively prosecute their own state sponsored murder squads? I for one am shocked.

  9. The bastards are waiting till everyone involved is dead. There’s no such thing as British justice

  10. *”Lord Saville’s official inquiry into the killings, published in 2010, concluded that all victims were innocent and posed no threat.”*

    *”It also stated soldiers involved in the shooting had knowingly put forward false accounts.”*

    The literal Saville inquiry stated this, how is this not perjury? No such thing as justice with the british.
