As regular readers of no gloss just matt will be aware, SDLP in West Belfast held a Miscarriages of Justice event at the SDLP Annual Conference. The event was very successful and very well attended.
The atmosphere of the event, due to the speakers very moving contributions, was poignant, and the SDLP agreed to follow this up with another similar event for those who where not able to attend the one in Armagh.
SDLP Newry have now arranged an event to be held this Wednesday in the Canal Court Hotel in Newry at 7.30pm. Everyone is invited.
Speakers include, no gloss just matt contributor Gerry Conlon of the Gilford Four, Breege Quinn, who’s son Paul Quinn was murdered with no one brought to justice, Raymond McCord, who’s son Raymond McCord Jnr was murdered and Anne Morgan, who’s brother, Seamus Ruddy is one of the disappeared.
The event will be chaired by the SDLP’s Alban Maguinness MLA, the party’s European Candidate and Justice Spokesperson.
If you couldn’t get to the event in Armagh in January, or if you are interested in the (lack of) Justice processes in NI relating the troubles/paramilitaries, or if you want to hear moving personal testimonies from tireless campaigners for justice, I would highly recommend that you try and attend.
Do U think the CR Gas used against INTERNEES in October, 1974 should be investigated?
As that and the dozens of premature deaths of former Long Kesh prisoners was/is certainly a miscarriage of Justice!
