Saville Inquiry

The Saville Inquiry was a lengthy investigation conducted by Lord Saville to examine the events surrounding Bloody Sunday in January 1972, when British soldiers shot protesters in Derry, Northern Ireland. It aimed to uncover what happened, assess responsibility, and promote transparency. The inquiry involved collecting evidence, questioning witnesses, and analyzing military and police actions. Its goal was to provide clarity, address justice for victims and their families, and improve understanding of the circumstances during that period of conflict in Northern Ireland.
