Finucane: British government has shown 'content for victims'

THE British government has shown “contempt for victims who suffered at the hands of its state forces”, North Belfast MP John Finucane claimed after the Secretary of State announced what he called a “substantial package of amendments” to its Troubles legacy legislation. The Sinn Féin MP made the claim after Hilary Benn said the new amendments to the bill would “improve the process for victims and families” and “further safeguard veterans”. He said unlike the previous Conservative government's controversial Legacy Act, the new bill “does not offer immunity”.  Hitting back Mr Finucane said the bill “displays no thought or empathy for families, but rather is designed to placate the British military lobby and the interests of security and intelligence agencies”.
