Mr Prime Minister David Cameron

London, England

May 15th, 2014

Dear Sir James,

I'm writing to protest against the "Bloody Sunday" that leaved all of us schocked. As you know there was a protest in the 30 of January of 1972 by the people of Northern Ireland in which they where defending the civil rights, but finally all of them where shot by the british army after throwing a series of rocks to them. This fact is one that we won't forget.

I am particulary concerned about the people who died in the "Bloody Sunday" by te soldiers fault of being with so little pacience, all of the people where protesting in peace by they opinion and they answer by killing those people? Also, the first Prime Minister in that time sent to investigate the case and the conclusion "The soldiers where acting in they own defense" was outrageous. This could not be posible, and it is not a opinion that all of the soldiers should be in prison with minimun life imprisonment because all of them are a real shame for the British military. It is not posible that actitude of the soldiers with people that the only thing they where doing is marching and defending the civil rights in a country that I see doesn't allow them to do it. In demonstration of what I'm saying, when 15.000 people came to the victims funeral, in your opinion which was the reason all that people was present there? 

In addition, all the families of the dead people are still suffering for that, and they know that sending prison all of the soldiers wil not bringh back those dead people. I suggest they make a reunion or something in wich finally make a formidable decision about the British military and say sorry to all the people in Nortern Ireland.
Without counting that after the protest the Ireland Embassy was on fire, manifestations in Milan, etc.

Please do everthing in your power of Prime Minister and make things better to all the people and civilizants that were present when this happened. More than a petition, I speak in name of all the sad families and of all the world that see us as a bunch of crazy monkeys men. 

I look forward to your response.

Yours sincerely,

Gonzalo Vidal Pérez

                                                                                                                               

                                                                                   

                                                                                                                                     

Summary Sunday Bloody Sunday Report

The Bloody Sunday killings were unjustified and unjustifiable, the Prime Minister has said.

Thirteen marchers were shot dead on 30 January 1972 in Londonderry when British paratroopers opened fire on crowds at a civil rights demonstration.

Prime Minister David Cameron said he was "deeply sorry".Fourteen others were wounded, one later died. The Saville Report is heavily critical of the Army and found that soldiers fired the first shot.

He said that the findings of the Saville Report were "shocking".

A huge cheer erupted in Guildhall Square in Derry as Mr Cameron delivered the findings which unequivocally blamed the Army for one of the most controversial days in Northern Ireland's history.

BBC legal affairs correspondent Clive Coleman said the decision whether or not to prosecute the soldiers would not be straightforward.

There needed to be sufficient evidence to provide a reasonable prospect of conviction - not an easy test after 38 years.

"If any defendent believes that the passage of time makes a fair trial impossible, they could argue the prosecution was an abuse of process," our correspondent said.

"Any prosecutions would also need to be judged to be in the public interest."
