Benefit for Ballymurphy Massacre Committee
Troops Out | 23.08.2008 10:36 | Culture | Repression
Ballymurphy is a housing estate in west Belfast. The Ballymurphy Massacre Victims were local residents murdered by the British army's Parachute Regiment during the first 3 days of Internment in 1971. No-one was ever brought to justice for the atrocity. The victims have never had the focus of the Bloody Sunday victims, as thirteen of the fourteen Bloody Sunday victims were shot dead in a 20 minute period in full view of the world's media. The Ballymurphy Massacre Victims were shot dead over 3 days in and around their own area.
The families are demanding justice.
Special Guests: Alice Harper, daughter of Daniel Teggart who was murdered by British Paratroopers; Irene Connolly, daughter of Joan Connolly who was also murdered by British Paratroopers.
Come along and support the families - & have great craic!
All funds raised will go to the relatives' campaign for justice.
