Ógra Shinn Féin March For Truth!


A crowd of several thousand people descended in Belfast on Sunday 12th August for the March for Truth. The march was demanding the truth to be told on the British policy of Collusion in the north of Ireland.

Hundreds of people where targeted and made victim by the British policy of collusion and the march on Sunday was an effort to force the British to reveal the truth of their role in the conflict and in particular Shoot to Kill and Collusion.

Amongst the thousands on the march in Belfast was a large contingent of Ógra Shinn Féin. Marching from Short Strand Ógra Shinn Féin, through floats and role plays, highlighted the passing on of details to loyalist death squads by British Military intelligence and the RUC. Many carried banners of Collusion victims and Youth for Truth.

Speaking of the mobilisation Ógra Shinn Féin, spokesperson Johnny McGibbon said

“The purpose of this mobilisation was to draw attention to collusion and British state violence. We are determined to uncover the truth behind the official British policy of collusion, and the large attendance at the rally is proof that the issue will simply not go away."

"We will continue the campaign until the families of victims uncover the truth. The British must admit to their dirty war in Ireland.”
