Bloody Sunday witnesses hear ruling on video-link

Hundreds of former soldiers who are to be called as witnesses in the Bloody Sunday inquiry were today being told whether they must travel to Derry to give their evidence.

The British High Court in London was giving judgment on a test case brought by 36 military witnesses who have accused the inquiry tribunal of ‘‘knowingly exposing individuals to the risk of death’’ by insisting that they must attend in person at Derry’s Guildhall.
