Statement made after a delegation made a formal complaint, to the PSNI, about the failure of both the RUC and PSNI to properly investigate the facts surrounding the Claudy Bombings. They also called for the investigation into the use of state agents connected with it and other terrorist incidents.
“We are here today to demand that the Police Service of Northern Ireland properly investigate the the Claudy Bombings and those involved. The previous investigations, have been mere cover ups of the true facts surrounding the murders on that day, and the failure of the police to act against hose responsible led to the murder of a large number of other innocent victims in North Antrim and County Londonderry. These include the murder of policemen, UDR members and civilians at the hands of those responsible for Claudy. Those responsible include a number of state agents who were allowed to carry on with their terror campaign while having confessed to murder. They would less than a year later bomb Coleraine, this is why we have come here to make an official complaint.”
Concillor William Blair, David Nicholl – Ulster News – and Adrian Eakin stated that nothing short of the establishment of an independent inquiry, could help establish the truth about what happened that day – 31st July 1972 and the subsequent cover-ups.
Adrian Eakin ended by stating:
“We want a public inquiry the same as the Bloody Sunday people got. At the end of the day, they lost relatives. They’ve got most of the answers.”
