Bloody Sunday Report

The Bloody Sunday Report refers to an official investigation into the events of January 30, 1972, in Derry, Northern Ireland, when British soldiers shot unarmed civil rights protesters, resulting in 13 deaths. The report examined what happened that day, the actions of the soldiers, and why the violence occurred. It found that the soldiers' use of lethal force was unjustified and criticized both the military's conduct and failures in command. The report aimed to provide transparency, accountability, and understanding of the tragic events, and it has had a significant impact on discussions about justice and peace in Northern Ireland.
