This year’s Troops Out Movement Delegation to Belfast will take place two months after the European elections and follows recent killings, sectarian attacks and other violent incidents.
The delegation also comes one week before the 30th anniversary of the re-deployment of British troops onto the streets of Ireland following the Battle of the Bogside in Derry and other uprisings across the six counties.
Thousands of British troops remain in Ireland, there is little progress on the issue of collusion, the Bloody Sunday Inquiry has still not reported its findings, the family of Pat Finucane are refusing an Inquiry under the (deeply flawed) Inquiries Act 2005 and on-going inquiries are slow and tedious.
The Troops Out Movement delegation provides a unique opportunity to observe, at first hand, the reality of life in Belfast and hear - free from media interference - the views of people directly affected.
You will have chance to:-
• Attend political talks / discussion workshops
• Visit community groups
• Join in the West Belfast Community Festival
• Take part in the Annual March and Rally
