After a 38-year struggle for truth and justice, campaigners for those killed in Derry on Bloody Sunday celebrate the Saville Report's exoneration of the victims and its unequivocal conclusion that the shootings were ‘unjustified’. The Bloody Sunday tribunal's verdict that soldiers had lied to the inquiry now opens up the possibility of legal action against the former troops involved. David Cameron announced the findings and apologised on behalf of the British state, ‘I never want to call into question the behaviour of our soldiers and our army, who I believe to be the finest in the world, but the conclusions of this report are absolutely clear. There is no doubt, there is nothing equivocal, there are no ambiguities. What happened on Bloody Sunday was both unjustified and unjustifiable. It was wrong.’
Pray: for all those affected by these events and that the report might heal old wounds. (1Pe.5:10)
