More than 300 PSNI officers were in Derry yesterday for two parades, one to mark the Bloody Sunday killings of January 30th, 1972, and the other as part of the loyalist protests against Belfast City Council’s flag decision.
While people at the Bloody Sunday memorial march condemned what they called the immunity enjoyed by surviving paratroopers who were involved in the killings of 13 unarmed civilians 41 years ago, the loyalists called for the same surviving paratroopers to be granted immunity from prosecution.
The marches passed off peacefully.
