The objective of the march is to draw attention to the major issue of collusion and British state violence, and the administrative and institutional cover-up by the British government and its state agencies, of a policy which resulted in many thousands of victims who were killed or injured or bereaved. We will be carrying our own banner, so please show your support by marching with us or by wearing a black ribbon in solidarity with the families.
