Letter from the Bloody Sunday Families to the British Government

To: British Government:

We the undersigned support the following statement released by the Bloody Sunday families and call on British Prime Minister Gordon Brown to "Set The Truth Free" and instruct Lord Saville to publish his report independent of any government interference.

"The Bloody Sunday families have been promised that the report of the Bloody Sunday Inquiry will be handed to the British government in the week beginning 22 March 2010. However, at that point the British will keep the report for an indeterminate time, at least a few weeks, during which time it will be scrutinised and possibly redacted by Ministry of Defence lawyers, the same lawyers who represented the soldiers at the Inquiry.

Is it fair that the British government get advance access to the report, advance possibility of preparing a response, and the possibility of changing Lord Saville's report?

Is it justice that the British government, who were responsible for Bloody Sunday, will control the release and maybe even the content of the report?

The families and the wounded are not asking for special treatment, all they are asking for is equality and justice at this crucial time. We demand that the families be treated fairly and that the report be released intact by Lord Saville to all interested parties at the same time."
