Relatives for Justice statement concerning today’s announcement by British Secretary for the North, Theresa Villers, concerning the SAS ambush at Loughgall

RFJ’s Director Mark Thompson said:

“Clearly the British government do not want information relating to the SAS ambush at Loughgall to be viewed by the North’s Attorney General (AG), which begs the questions of why and what do the relevant documents contain?

“Further the decision is an attempt to undermine the office of the AG and devolution itself and must been seen in the wider political context of influencing any decision given that the Advocate General is a member of the British Cabinet.”ENDS
