Ballymurphy Massacre:
English language website, On Monday 9th of August 1971 Interment without Trial was introduced by the
British Government in the North of Ireland. This policy was implemented by the British Army at 4am
on that particular summer morning. Between 9th and
11th of August 1971, over 1000 British soldiers entered the Ballymurphy area of West Belfast, raiding
homes and rounding up men. During this 3 day period 11 people were brutally murdered.
All 11 unarmed civilians were murdered by the British Army's Parachute Regiment. One of the victims
was a well known parish priest and another was a 45 year old mother of eight children. No
investigations were carried out and no member of the British Army was held to account. The
terrible events which took place in Ballymurphy in 1971 have for too long remained in the shadows.
The families of those murdered, put the spotlight on how 11 innocent people met their deaths over
a three day period in August 1971 and demand the truth.
