38th Anniversary to be marked at the GPO , Dublin.

After a peaceful Civil Rights march on January 30th , 1972 - from Creggan to Free Derry Corner - units of the British army Parachute Regiment opened fire with automatic rifles and shot dead 13 unarmed civilians , injuring many more....

Bloody Sunday Commemoration , GPO Dublin, Sat 30th Jan 2010 , 12 Noon to 2pm.

....it was later revealed that some days prior to the massacre , the British soldiers involved had been briefed to "...shoot to kill..." at the march .

" This Sunday became known as 'Bloody Sunday' and bloody it was . It was quite unnecessary . It strikes me that the (British) army ran amok that day and shot without thinking of what they were doing . They were shooting innocent people . They may have been taking part in a parade which was banned , but that did not justify the troops coming in and firing live rounds indiscriminately . I would say without reservations that it was sheer unadulterated murder . It was murder , gentlemen . "
- the words of British Major Hubert O'Neill , Derry City Coroner, at the conclusion of the inquests on the 13 people killed by the British Army on Bloody Sunday .
On Saturday January 30th next , a picket to mark the 38th Anniversary of that massacre will be held at the GPO in Dublin , from 12 Noon to 2pm .
All welcome !
Thanks!
Sharon.

Hi !
RSF had a very successful two-hour protest in Dublin city centre today , to mark the 38th Anniversary of the Westminster-ordered 'Bloody Sunday' massacre in Derry , in 1972.
One thousand eight hundred 'Bloody Sunday' information leaflets (in 'packs/booklets' of 3) were distributed , about 50 people took part and over 100 'Saoirse' newspapers were sold.
More information , and a few pictures , can be viewed at the 'Related Link' below.
Thanks!
Sharon.
(Post Script: a big 'Go Raibh Maith Agat' to this site , 'Indymedia.ie' , as a photojournalist from Demotix.com covered the RSF event for her Editor , having seen same advertised on this site!)
