Amnesty wants probe into British army death squad

Amnesty Northern Ireland director Patrick Corrigan said: „Today‘s revelations in ‚Panorama‘ underline our call for the UK government to establish a new, over-arching mechanism to investigate human rights violations and abuses in Northern Ireland, whether carried out by paramilitary groups or the security forces.
„Victims and bereaved family members have a right to truth and justice.
„Such a process must focus not just on those who pulled the trigger, but also those in positions of authority who pulled the strings.“
