McKerr & Jordan Families Appalled At Overwhelming Delay

18th July 2002 --

The families of Gervaise McKerr and Pearse Jordan both shot dead by the RUC in separate incidents in 1982 and 1992 today called on the British Government to tell the truth about taking steps to enforce damning human rights judgements.

13 months after unprecedented European Judgements criticised the State role in handling the aftermath of the controversial killings the families continue to be obstructed in their quest for the truth by the Government and Judiciary. The British Government has failed to address the severe criticisms raised by the European Court.
