AN agreement on compensation for relatives of people shot dead by British soldiers in what became known as the Ballymurphy Massacre has finally rectified another injustice more than 50 years on.
Families of nine of the 1971 Ballymurphy Massacre victims will receive "substantial" damages, while relatives of the 10th victim are still pursuing action in court. An inquest last year revealed that ten of the victims were "entirely innocent" when they were murdered by British paratroopers.
Amnesty International says it creates a two-tier justice system and allows grave human rights violations committed during the Northern Ireland conflict to occur with impunity.
