Tonight we were in Bellaghy. The family of Seán Brown were in the audience. Julie Livingstone was murdered on 12/05/81 and Sean Brown was murdered on 12/05/97.
The themes of trauma, compassion, state impunity and family dignity reached across these exceptional families’ experiences
“Kids that die of starvation don’t even cry in the end. Their little hearts just slow down and eventually stop.”
A member of Doctors Against Genocide said that in the Senate building.
America and Britain are every bit as bad as Israel for allowing it
Sean Brown Inquiry
Sec of State officially confirms in writing that he will refuse to abide by the clear direction of the Judiciary (5 High Court Judges) and formally refuses to convene a public inquiry.

Imagine someone reading the history of this horror in years to come. How could you possibly explain to them that Gary Linekar & Kneecap faced more repercussions during the genocide than Israel did 🤯
The strongest woman you will meet our Granny B ❤️

In her only long form interview, 87-year-old Bridie Brown, sits with her daughter Clare to talk about the man she loved. Sean Brown was killed by loyalists, locking the gates of Bellaghy GAA club in 1997. This is his story

WATCH: The daughter of a GAA official killed by loyalists has described as a 'total disgrace', the way in which her family was told about the government's decision to challenge a court ruling over a public inquiry.
Siobhan Brown's father Sean was abducted as he locked gates at Bellaghy Wolf Tones GAA in May 1997.
In April, the Court of Appeal ruled that the government's refusal to hold a public inquiry into Mr Brown's death was unlawful.
On Wednesday, the Secretary of State confirmed he would seek leave to appeal the decision in the Supreme Court.
The British government’s decision to further frustrate & delay a public inquiry into the murder of Sean Brown is both cruel & shameful.
For nearly 28 years, the Brown family have campaigned for truth with immense courage, grace & dignity — in stark contrast to the cynical & obstructionist actions of the British state.
Five High Court judges have been unequivocal — the only path to justice is a full public inquiry.
By continuing to delay, the British government is actively denying the Brown family their fundamental right to truth & justice.
It is time for British Prime Minister Keir Starmer & his government to end this relentless insult to Bridie Brown & her family.
A public inquiry must be established without delay.
