It is a far cry from the welcome that greeted the public apology for the atrocity offered by then British prime minister David Cameron 10 years ago. He went on to say the British government was deeply sorry for what happened. Cameron’s words gave real hope to relatives of the victims that the soldiers who participated in the events of that day would finally face justice. Marianne O’Kane of the Prosecution Service, who carried out the review, said the available evidence was insufficient to provide a reasonable prospect of conviction against any of the 15 soldiers. Solicitors representing the victims are planning to bring judicial review proceedings to the High Court.
