Join the walk for Pearse Jordan's family campaign for Truth and Justice

IRA volunteer Pearse Jordan was shot dead by undercover RUC officers on the Falls Road on 25th November 1992 in a pre-planned shoot-to-kill operation.

Pearse Jordan’s parents, Hugh and Teresa, have continuously fought for an inquest into the killing of their son.



Their struggle for justice has been marked at every turn by concealment and cover-up by the British state.

The British state has refused to pursue prosecutions and has consistently engaged in attempts at cover-up, including delaying the inquest.

The Jordan family have fought a 16-year legal battle to have the RUC members involved in his killing give evidence in court and Sinn Féin will continue to support them and other families whose loved ones were killed by the British State or their surrogates.

On Saturday, August 2, we will gather for a sponsored walk to raise money for a mural in support of the Jordan family campaign for truth and justice.

The mural will be placed at the former Andersonstown RUC barracks, which was used as a base to carry out the murder of Pearse.

The walk will begin at 12pm at the National Trust car park at 12 Divis Road and will go to the site of the former Andersonstown RUC barracks for the public unveiling of the Pearse Jordan mural at 2pm.

We hope that you will support the walk and attend the unveiling.
