RELATIVES of people killed as a result of alleged security force collusion met yesterday with senior Sinn Fin politicians at Stormont.
Around 60 relatives, representing just under 200 people killed, travelled to Parliament Buildings in the wake of fresh claims made in a series of television broadcasts including a recent Panorama programme which revealed a gun used in the murders of seven Catholic men ended up on display at the Imperial War Museum in London.
The meeting with deputy first minister Martin McGuinness came as it emerged that Sinn Fin has tabled an assembly motion to discuss collusion.
Relatives for Justice spokesman Mark Thompson said families of people killed as a result of collision want to see a judicial inquiry set up.
We have had three major programmes in the last few months detailing the extent of collusion and it needs to be addressed, he said.
He said that unionists also needed to face up to the reality of collusion which also affected their section of the community. The campaigner said the British government needed to deal with the issue urgently and said debates on the subject should be held in the assembly, Leinster House and Westminster.
The British government has a responsibility to fund the those structures and mechanisms required to allow victims and their relatives to access truth and justice," he said.
