Bloody Sunday campaigners take case to England
Gerry Duddy, brother of 17 year old Jackie Duddy who was killed on
Bloody Sunday, was detained by British police this week when he
arrived in Birmingham to begin a speaking tour organised by the
Troops Out Movement.
Mr Duddy was held for about 30 minutes on Monday by police who
searched his belongings and questioned him about his movements.
``Although two others were stopped at the time I was stopped they were
allowed to go on straight away. I think I was singled out because of
who I am. So much for freedom of movement here,'' the Bloody Sunday
campaigner said.
Mr Duddy said the tour, from Monday until today, was to inform people
``of the facts surrounding the killing of my brother and the 13 others
who were killed with him''.
He also gave an update on the Saville Inquiry into Bloody Sunday at a
public meeting on Tuesday in the Union Club in Birmingham.
``The relatives of those killed on Bloody Sunday appreciate the
opportunity to speak directly to people in England about our campaign
for justice,'' Mr Duddy said.
other Bloody Sunday relative Tony Doherty, whose father Patrick was
killed, will be speaking at the annual march and rally on Saturday in
London .
Gerry Kelly a Sinn Fein negotiator, John McDonnell MP , Jeremy Corbyn
MP, Diane Hamill whose brother Robert was beaten to death by
loyalists in full view of an RUC patrol and Sukdev Reel from the
Justice for Ricky Reel campaign and a speaker from the Justice for
Stephen Lawrence Campaign will all speak at the rally at Friends
Meeting House, Euston Road.
The rally will assemble at Victoria Embankment at 12 noon, and march
to Euston Road via Westminster, Downing Street and Trafalgar Square.
