The Reavey family deserve truth and justice say Newry and Armagh MP Daire Hughes
Sinn Féin MP Dáire Hughes, has stated that the Reavey family deserves truth and justice as legal proceedings against the British Ministry of Defence and the PSNI began in Belfast today.
Speaking after attending the first day of the hearing with party colleague Aoife Finnegan MLA, the Newry and Armagh MP said: “A little over 50 years ago John Martin, Brian and Anthony Reavey were brutally murdered in their home in Whitecross by the Glenanne Gang, in a sectarian attack which targeted innocent men.
“The Glenanne Gang were notorious for sectarian murder, having been responsible for up to 120 killings in Armagh, Tyrone and beyond.
“Numerous reports and legal proceedings have also shown sickening levels of collusion between this murder gang and British forces, including the UDR and RUC.
“Eugene and the whole Reavey clan have demonstrated immense dedication and commitment in pursuing truth and justice for over half a century.
“They, like every family affected by the conflict, are entitled to truth, justice and acknowledgment. It is a basic principle of the rule of law.”
