British High Court appeal over 'Bloody Sunday' soldiers

A new bid to force former soldiers to give their evidence to the Bloody Sunday inquiry in Derry -where they fear reprisal attacks - began in the British Court of Appeal today.

Last month two High Court judges in London overturned a decision by the inquiry tribunal, headed by Lord Saville of Newdigate, that the witnesses must attend in person at Derry’s Guildhall.
