RUC passing report to discredited Stevens condemned
Pat Finucane's brother, Martin, has condemned the decision of RUC
Chief Ronnie Flanagan to pass the British Irish Rights Watch report
into collusion between the crown forces and the loyalists who killed
his brother's murder, to the Deputy Commissioner for the London
Metropolitan Police, John Stevens.
Finucane, spokesperson for the Derry based human rights organisation
the Pat Finucane Centre, founded in memory of his brother, said
Flanagan should have no role in referring the report to Stevens.
Finucane added that the previous Stevens investigations into crown
force/loyalist collusion remains unpublished.
The British Irish Rights Watch report was given to the Dublin and
London governments on the same day last month as over 1,200 lawyers
worldwide demanded an international inquiry into the murder. The
report has also embarrassed the Six County Law Society that took an
executive decision to stop it's own human rights committee from
considering the report. ENDS
