Northern Ireland's Public Prosecution Service announced last year that one veteran, known as Soldier F, would face charges over the incident, known as Bloody Sunday. A further 15 civilians were wounded on January 30, 1972 when soldiers from the Parachute Regiment opened fire on civil rights demonstrators, in an incident which became known as Bloody Sunday. Families of some of the victims requested a review of the PPS decision in March 2019. Today, the PPS announced that the original decision not to prosecute 15 soldiers reported in connection with the events of Bloody Sunday have been upheld.
