Three different campaigns for inquiries into deaths at the hands of British paratroopers are brought together into a single board on the site of the former Andersonstown RUC station: the Ballymurphy Massacre of August, 1971, in which 11 were killed; the Springhill Massacre of July 1972, in which 5 were killed, and the killing of IRA volunteer Pearse Jordan, who, like the others, lived in the greater Ballymurphy area.

Pearse Jordan is commemorated by a plaque in Hugo Street and a mural in Ballymurphy. For recent (2014-12) news about the Ballymurphy inquest, see The Guardian. See also Uncovering The Past | Our Truth | #TimeForTruth (which contains a picture of Rısteard Ó’Murchú’s painted board at the Springfield/Whiterock shops).

Here is a video of the launch, 2014-09-24, produced by Sınn Féın:
