A decision on Bloody Sunday prosecutions is due to be issued on Thursday, and the day will mark a key moment in a 47-year-old campaign for justice.

A Public Prosecutions Service team has been assessing evidence against 17 Parachute Regiment soldiers who were involved in the Bloody Sunday massacre on 30 January 1971, in which fourteen civilians were killed by British Paratroopers, and a further 22 were injured.

Relatives of Bloody Sunday victims have said the passage of time cannot be used as an excuse to deny justice for their loved ones.
