50 Years Since Bloody Sunday
30 January 1972
10,000 marchers take to the streets of Derry, Ireland to protest against the British policy of internment, which meant any member of the public could be imprisoned without trial on suspicion of being part of a paramilitary organisation.
British soldiers open fire on the crowd of innocent civilians, killing 14. Many were shot with their backs turned, running away from the soldiers.
It was the highest number of people killed in a shooting incident during the conflict and is considered the worst mass shooting in Northern Irish history.
Bloody Sunday fuelled Catholic and Irish nationalist hostility towards the British Army and support for the Provisional IRA rose

Despite the British state issuing an apology in 2010, no soldier has ever been prosecuted for their involvement.
The same paratroopers murdered 11 innocent civilians outside their homes in Ballymurphy months earlier, including a priest who had been administering last rights to a dying man.
