Families of IRA victims in England told new Troubles bill could revive path to justice
  • The UK government has announced that the new Northern Ireland Troubles bill may enable families of IRA victims to pursue justice, as it plans to eliminate the immunity scheme that previously hindered investigations into unsolved killings. This development comes as MPs in the House of Commons prepare to debate the bill, highlighting the ongoing impact of the Troubles on English soil.
  • This legislative change is significant as it offers hope to the families of victims who have long sought answers regarding the deaths of their loved ones. With 77 unsolved cases still outstanding, including those involving British armed forces personnel, this bill could potentially pave the way for renewed investigations and accountability for past violence.
