Convictions

No licenced release for any soldier (or anyone else) convicted for Bloody Sunday…

Mick Fealty on November 12, 2015, 12:29 pm | Readers 898

NO EARLY RELEASE: If a soldier is convicted in the future of what would have been deemed a scheduled offence between 1973 and 1998, they could apply for early release under the Good Friday Agreement. However, that still leaves an anomaly in respect of crimes carried out between the start of the Troubles in 1969 and 1973.
