Important clarification: those behind March For Justice – The Bloody Sunday March For Just... do not speak for the vast majority of Bloody Sunday family members. They have not spoken to us nor invited us to their march. So, while indeed There Is No British Justice, it doesn't follow that it abounds here either
50 years on I wish to commend the families & friends of all those who died and were injured on Bloody Sunday for their resolve in the pursuit of truth and justice and extend my continuing support to them.
We will never forget what happened on the streets of Derry that day.
我們持續密切因應國際情勢，我也要告訴大家，無論面對怎麼樣的挑戰，民主就是我們唯一的選項，團結就是我們唯一的方法。追求團結，不等於要忘記過去。相反的，我們更要銘記走過的路，時時刻刻提醒自己，台灣今日的民主，絕對不是理所當然。這樣，我們才能夠珍惜當下，團結彼此，一起守護得來不易的民主、自由和人權。我相信，一個願意面對歷史、從錯誤中反省的國家，必定也會是一個擁有堅強韌性、能夠堅持民主的國家。這是轉型正義之於台灣民主的意義，更是台灣人共同的使命，讓我們繼續來努力。 via

The courage and dignity of the families over the last 50 years is inspirational.
They have overcome barrier after barrier to set the truth free.

We were forced up against the Saracen personnell carriers, spreadeagled and searched. We were prevented from joining the main march.
An elderly woman moving in the same direction praying with her rosary beads said to me “you know son, there are a lot of people lying dead in there.”
Little did we know this day would become known as Bloody Sunday.
We will never forget what happened on the streets of Derry that day.

今天跟一個朋友聊天，我們一直在辯論「為何『轉型正義』很重要」，因為朋友覺得人都死了（被害者與加害者）、過去的獨裁政權背景會發生屠殺與人權事件不奇怪，那麼到底為何一直說要要求「道歉」（我說這「道歉」的含意很廣，因為還包含到了汙衊死者為罪犯、犯錯的人至今仍不承認）、雖然近期內不可能重演但這種事情在歷史上一直重演呀(略
過去沒有火只能吃生的，有了火之後可以吃熟食減少得病風險。這樣不好嗎？
過去沒有醫藥，生病自求多福；有了醫藥可以把死亡率降低。這樣不好嗎？
道歉是真正重啟對話的開始。

對呀，就是要能對話啊，不然有一方都等於拒絕對話（雙方對話不在同一條線上形同無法對話）
