A digital exhibition on show at the Museum of Free Derry depicts, alongside those murdered and injured by the state, pictures and information about members of state forces killed in Free Derry. This is an insult to those loved ones, their families and the people of Derry who know only too well the impact the Armed Forces and the RUC had on our City. Victims and perpetrators are not equal and they should not be commemorated together, despite what the Museum has said. Tell the Museum of Free Derry to remove the names of RUC and British Army members from alongside innocent Derry victims.

The putting the names of the perpetrators along with the victims of Bloody Sunday adds insult to their tragedy, not only did they not get justice, the families must endure this grave insult!
You can put the members of the Armed forces up as soon as in Britain they memorialize in the U.K. all the Luftwaffe pilots shot down during the Battle of Britain; same "logic" would apply.
The armed, trained British soldiers can be commemorated at the Imperial War Museum or their regimental museums if they like. The Derry Museum should keep faith with the unarmed civilians.
This loop should be taken down. There has never been a consultation with anyone on the loop including myself. I have represented my brother for 18 years and no one ever showed me this. It's offensive to me.
It took 40 + yrs to clear my Uncles Name. Now they want to soil it again by putting it next to combatants. They are not the same. The victims of Bloody Sunday were innocent. They died upholding the values of the SDLP not Sinn Fein. Who want to control and sanitize our past.
Why should British soldiers be commentated in our island murderers

Would you put an occupying forced name beside civilian casualties? (Nazi’s soldiers killed in battle and victims of the holocaust). My heart says you would not, then why do this? Victims and perpetrators are not equal and they should not be commemorated together.
