Victims to raise Troubles ‘amnesty’ with UN body

Armoured cars rumble over the rubble past overturned cars and a wrecked motor cycle at dawn in Belfast’s Protestant Shankill Road, after a night of violence in which three people died.

Opposition to a Government plan to ban future prosecutions related to the Northern Ireland Troubles is to be raised with a United Nations body.

Several victims of the conflict have joined with Amnesty International to make a statement to the UN Human Rights Council.
