Shoot-to-kill

Relatives for Justice have launched an online petition of support for the family of Jean Charles de Menezes, shot dead by the London Metropolitan police.

This initiative has come from families who themselves lost loved ones to Britain's policy of shoot-to-kill who wish to show their solidarity and support for the de Menezes family.

What follows is a brief account of the use of the shoot-to-kill policy in the Irish conflict, with case examples.

Urgent Appeal

Despite increasing support for Irish freedom and unity, we need your help to overcome British and unionist intransigence. We can end the denial of our rights in relation to Brexit, the Irish language, a border poll and legacy issues, with your support.

Please support IRN now to help us continue reporting and campaigning for our national rights. Even one pound a month can make a big difference for us.
