Sinn Féin MLA Liz Kimmins has said heartbroken families will continue to challenge the shameful Legacy Act at every turn and called on the British Government to repeal it.
She also pledged that she and her Sinn Féin colleagues would continue to stand with families in their continued fight for truth and justice.
The Newry & Armagh MLA said,
“Heartbroken families have been fighting for years, determined to get the truth and justice for their loved ones.
The shutting down of legacy inquests and investigations have a very real and human impact on families of victims
This new law will deliberately inflict pain to protect the selfish interests of the British government and their state bodies”.
The Sinn Féin MLA continued,
“It’s clear this act was designed to cover up the British government’s shameful actions in Ireland.To protect their soldiers and agents, block the rights of families and halt any legal processes”.
Liz said that she and her Sinn Féin colleagues will continue to stand with families in their continued fight for truth and justice.
“Heartbroken families have been fighting for years, determined to get the truth and justice for their loved ones.
This new law will deliberately inflict pain to protect the selfish interests of the British government and their state bodies.
It will undermine the rule of law, cover up the truth and deny justice to victims and families.
But make no mistake, this does not represent the end.
Families will not give up in their dignified campaign for truth and justice, and this energy will always endure.
Sinn Féin stands with these families, now and in the future in their continued fight for their loved ones.”
