Ballymurphy March for Truth 2012
13 August 2012
The families of 11 nationalists killed by British paratroopers in the Ballymurphy area of Belfast in August 1971 continue to draw attention to their campaign for truth. A march organised by the families took place on Sunday 12 August and drew support from other campaign groups who are themselves highlighting their quest for justice. Among those to show support for the Ballymurphy campaign were the relatives of the 14 people shot dead by British paratroopers in Derry on Bloody Sunday, the families of those killed in the Springhill shootings in 1972, also carried out by paratroopers and the families of 6 men shot dead by the UVF in Loughinisland in 2004. As many as 2,000 people marched in solidarity with the families.
