LONDON: The UK government apologised on Wednesday after 10 civilians were killed during violence in Northern Ireland nearly 50 years ago, Downing Street said.
The apology came a day after a coroner ruled that British soldiers used “clearly disproportionate” force against protesters in Ballymurphy, west Belfast, in 1971.
Victims included a priest and a mother of eight children.
Families of the dead, whom the coroner said were all declared “entirely innocent of any wrongdoing”, have accused successive governments in London of a cover-up.
Downing Street said UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson spoke to Northern Ireland’s First Minister Arlene Foster and her deputy in the power-sharing assembly in Belfast, Michelle O’Neill.
