Bloody Sunday appeal for eyewitnesses
By M McCracken
The Bloody Sunday Justice Group has urged eyewitnesses to the
events of the murders on 30 January 1972 to contact the group
with any information relating to events of that day.
The Group is compiling an extensive archive of eyewitness
statements, and has issued its appeal for witnesses to come
forward.
Group member Michael McKinney explained that thousands of people
attended the 1972 anti-internment march, but that less than one
thousand statements have so far been recorded. ``Many saw things
which they may consider trivial, but it could matter greatly. A
lot of people have yet to give their version of events that could
contribute to the overall picture of what happened.''
He appealed for anyone with information to contact the Bloody
Sunday Justice Group at 1, West End Park, Derry.
Meanwhile, Don Mullan, author of the book, Eyewitness Bloody
Sunday, has denounced Canadian authorities for seizing documents
relating to the atrocity.
Mullan has revealed that Canadian customs seized two copies of
the book, three copies of the Breglio Report, and material on the
Irish Famine.
The report claims that three of the victims of Bloody Sunday were
shot from the City Walls, evidence which has critically
undermined British explanations for the atrocity. Copies of
material relating to the Famine were also seized. Mullan, in
Toronto for a Famine lecture, has denounced this action as
politically-motivated.
