This is a repainted version of the Bloody Sunday mural in Westland Street, now with a purple background and white leaves. The Christian cross in the centre was absent from the original version of the mural, and added to the version painted in 2005.

After the Saville report (gov.uk) was published in 2010, the PSNI took up its own investigation into the events of Bloody Sunday (January 30th, 1972), which is still on-going (see Bloody Sunday: Appeal For Witnesses). The Derry graffiti shown here calls for justice for the 14 people who died as a result of 1 Para’s attack. The DUP’s Gregory Campbell claims that the prosecution of British Army soldiers would be “disastrous” (BelTel). Victims’ rights groups have described calls for an end to all enquiries as “a betrayal” (BBC).

An Feachtas Um Cheartas Dhomhnach Na Fola/The Bloody Sunday Justice Campaign was founded in 1992 to press for a repudiation of the original (Widgery) Bloody Sunday inquiry and the reopening of the case (Museum Of Free Derry). That second (a.k.a. Saville) inquiry published its findings in June 2010, concluding that those killed and injured were innocent protesters, which led then-UK Prime Minister David Cameron to say that the deaths were “unjustified and unjustifiable” (Museum Of Free Derry).
A march in search of justice for the Bloody Sunday victims has been held annually since 1973, taking the same route as in 1972 from from Creggan shops to Free Derry Corner; the annual march has continued.
The rear of Free Derry corner has its own Visual History page.
