Anderson raises British collusion with EU representatives

Sinn Féin MEP Martina Anderson is hosting a series of meetings in the European Parliament in Strasbourg between EU departments and a delegation of people from the North seeking truth and justice from British collusion.

Taking place today and tomorrow, a total of 12 groups will be taking part.

Ms Anderson \(pictured) said the question of the past continued to cast a shadow over the future for so many families who live with loss as a direct consequence of the conflict here.

She added: “After more than 40 years, the Ballymurphy families are still campaigning for the truth into the British army killings of their loved ones, so too are the families of the McGurks Bar Massacre.

“After 25 years the family of Patrick Finucane still seek the truth into the full extent of British state collusion in Pat’s murder and also the Jordan family as they seek the truth into the killing of their son IRA volunteer Pearse Jordan.

“In an attempt to bring their campaigns further and subsequently closer to truth and justice, I have set up a number of meetings with EU representatives.
