An Fhírinne to highlight collusion during Féile

The anti-collusion campaign group An Fhírinne has organised a calendar of events in Belfast during this year's Féile an Phobail designed to focus on collusion between British state forces and unionist death squads in the killings of hundreds of Catholics, nationalists and republicans over the past 35 years.

Spokesperson for the group, Robert McClenag-han told An Phoblacht that "at a time when the British Government is trying to take control of any Truth and Reconciliation process, it is essential that we, as families who have lost loved ones as a direct result of state-orchestrated murder, continue to demand the truth.

"We want the British Government to divulge to the families all information it has on collusion and we want them to dismantle the structures and agencies which implemented its policy of state murder."

McClenaghan hopes the upcoming events organised by An Fhírinne "will help people to understand more about the collusion that still exists between unionist paramilitaries and the British forces and provide further support for our group in our quest to have the truth about collusion brought into the public domain".
