New forum for victims of Troubles
Sep 4th
A new victims’ forum is being launched in Northern Ireland to tackle the legacy of the Troubles.
The advisory group will include the bereaved relatives of security force members and those shot dead by republican and loyalist groups.
All have links to infamous episodes including the IRA’s Shankill Road bombing, in which 10 people died in 1993, the British Army shooting dead of 13 civilians on Bloody Sunday in Derry in 1972, plus the Real IRA’s 1998 Omagh bombing that claimed 29 lives, including that of a woman pregnant with twins.
