50th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday

That the Parliament recognises the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday on 30 January 2022; notes that, in what became known as Bloody Sunday, 13 men and teenagers were shot dead, with a 14th victim dying later from injuries, by British soldiers in Derry in 1972, while participating in a peaceful protest march organised by the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association; understands that 12 others were shot and wounded, that all were unarmed and were not posing a threat of causing death or serious injury, and that many were shot while fleeing or assisting other civilians who were injured; acknowledges the inquiry by Lord Saville of Newdigate initiated in 1998 and subsequent report published in 2010, which found that unjustifiable firing by soldiers was the cause of deaths and injuries; further acknowledges the UK Government’s unqualified acceptance of the report and that the killings were "unjustified" and "unjustifiable", as described in the subsequent apology by the then Prime Minister, David Cameron, and believes that the 50th anniversary is a moment for reflection on the darkest days of the troubles in Northern Ireland, which impacted people who lived there and many of their families living in the West Scotland region and other parts of Scotland, a time to remember those who died and an opportunity to learn from the past and move forward in peace and reconciliation.
