Bloody Sunday London
Eoin O'Broin
Speaking to a crowd of 1,500 marchers in London last Sunday, Martin McGuinness described Bloody Sunday as an ``open wound'' for Irish people. ``The British government has done everything in its power to convince people that those who died were involved in bombing and shooting against the British Army. They could have said they were prepared to recognise that a terrible wrong was done on that day, and hold their hand up and tell the full story of what happened''.
At a press conference before the march, Gerry Duddy from the Bloody Sunday Justice Group, reiterated the campaign's demand for a fresh independent inquiry.
The annual Bloody Sunday commemoration march travelled through North London to a rally at Caxton Hall. A large police presence accompanied the march but it passed without incident. Among the speakers was Irish Labour TD Declan Bree.
