THE PSNI has issued an apology to the Hooded Men over their treatment under interrogation in 1971. It comes a day after the death of one of the men, Joe Clarke (71) from West Belfast.
The family of Lurgan man Gerry McKerr, one of 14 men tortured after they were detained by security forces in 1971, attended a special meeting with the PSNI on Tuesday at which they received an apology for the actions of police officers at that time.
