Bloody Sunday families to challenge decision not to prosecute five British soldiers

THE families of five men killed by British soldiers on Bloody Sunday in 1972 will legally challenge a decision not to prosecute five former paratroopers over their deaths. Solicitors for the families of Jackie Duddy, Michael Kelly, John Young, Michael McDaid and William McKinney said that a five-day judicial review would begin on September 20. It will challenge a previous decision by Northern Ireland’s Public Prosecution Service (PPS) not to prosecute five soldiers over the killings of those named, solicitor Fearghal Shiels said. “The families warmly welcome today’s decision and look forward with confidence to the full hearing in the autumn,” he said on Thursday evening.
