Ballymurphy is a housing estate, in West Belfast in the north of Ireland. The Ballymurphy 11 were local residents murdered by the British Army Parachute Regiment, during the first 3 days of Internment in 1971. No one was ever brought to justice and the victims have never had the focus of the Bloody Sunday victims. Thirteen of the fourteen Bloody Sunday victims were shot dead within 20 minutes in full view of the world’s media. The Ballymurphy victims were shot over 3 days in their own streets. The families have now come together to demand justice
