Protestors today disrupted the launch of a new transport system in Belfast, which was being hosted by John Spellar MP, the NIO Minister for Human Rights, Equality and Criminal Justice who sat on the Army Board which decreed that the two Scots Guards convicted of the murder of north Belfast teenager Peter McBride should be allowed to remain in the army. Members of the Pat Finucane Centre held up banners demanding justice for Peter McBride as Spellar attempted to launch a new Global Positioning System for Belfast buses. Speaking afterwards, PFC spokesperson Shane O'Curry said: "If this man thinks he can walk in here and tackle issues of human rights, equality and criminal justice while ignoring the abuse of those issues that he has been involved in, then he needs a global positioning system of his own. This man is not suitable to hold any such office, and should be removed immediately." read full story / add a comment
