Although far from ideal, in some cases I believe it could help. The murderer of Billy McGreanery in 1971 was a member of 1 Battalion, Grenadier Guards. As things stand it is virtually certain he will never be charged. If he tells the truth of what happened he will be granted amnesty. If not he could be charged at some future date so will always fear the knock on the door. An amnesty could let the whole world know the truth of what happened to Billy.
In the whole world peoples behaves for the animals and other peoples in the some ways .
By "other countries" you mean Israel, right?
Just wanna say your latest ads are vile. Please stop.
Amnesty international has always taken a partisan view of the troubles, sympathising with republicans and taking an anti-state stance. The paramilitaries in NI have an effective amnesty, that amnesty should be extended to British soldiers.
British security personnel had an effective amnesty during the conflict, whereas prisons on the island of Ireland and across the U.K. were full of paramilitary prisoners.
If justice was served properly at the time then people would not be looking for soldiers to be prosecuted for historical crimes.
@@arthurgoodness7865 They were full of paramilitary prisoners because 90% of the violence was from paramilitaries not the state. I think few Brit personnel were prosecuted but to say they had an effective amnesty is to enormously overstate the point.
Republicans would always be calling for more soldiers and police to be prosecuted even if justice had been served. Worth pointing out how many Irish republicans were not brought to justice. Why is it ok for IRA men to have an effective amnesty and not British soldiers? Answer me that!
@@jonoessex it is worrying how so many people compare the actions of the British security personnel with those of terrorists - and when I say terrorists I mean both republicans and loyalists and not just the IRA.
Would a British soldier owe the same duty of care to the civilian population as a terrorist would?
If soldier’s were deployed during the miners strikes and broke up a rally, chased them down streets and opened fire killing 13 people, would these actions raise questions?
British security personnel were directly involved in the killing of 186 innocent people and were indirectly involved in many more through their agents on both sides of the divide.
@@arthurgoodness7865 A terrorist who claims to be fighting a legitimate guerrilla war and is widely supported in Ameirca and the republic of Ireland should absolutely have the same duty of care to civilians as a British soldier.
The miners strike was not the same thing as a war. The miners were not shooting police officers and soldiers, if 13 people who killed by soldiers at a miners picket it would be a completely different thing from soldiers killing people in a war zone, NI was a war zone not a place where there was a bitter industrial dispute.
A far as I'm aware the British killed about 160 odd civilians who may have died in all sorts of circumstances, many or most not in direct intentional attacks on civilians. They may have been "involved" in more through the use agents but the point of using agents was stop terrorist groups.
@@jonoessex it was not a war. The British government told anyone who would listen that it was not a war. After events across NI in August 69 the RoI wanted UN peacekeepers deployed. The U.K. government refused stating that it was only a couple of isolated incidents.
Official figures have 186 victims who were killed by British Security personnel, men, women and children. And yes, many were killed in all sorts of circumstances, a 13 year old girl walking to the shop, a 17 year old walking home with him cousin, a 9 year old boy in his kitchen, a mother of 8 at her back door, a priest giving last rites to another shot person, a 27 year old man with the mental age of 8 running home through a field, all in very different circumstances.
Brian Nelson, an agent working for the FRU got details of ppl from his handlers and then passed the information to loyalist hit squads.
Robin Jackson, another RUC Special Branch informant, said to have been involved in the Miami Showband attack and scores more sectarian killings.
Stakeknife, head of the IRA nutting squad, another FRU agent, documents show that he killed other Army agents within the IRA and FRU were aware.
The UDR, an infantry regiment of the British Army, 18 members convicted of murder during the conflict and many more convicted for supplying loyalist paramilitaries with weapons and information.
The Glenanne gang, made up of soldiers from UDR, RUC officers and loyalists, best estimates have this motley crew involved in at least 120 murders- mostly Catholic civilians.
A terrorist, a criminal, owes the general public the same duty of care as a States Armed Forces?
The IRA were not the Irish States army. The Irish government did not support the armed struggle, hence why our prisons were filled with republican prisoners.
