Bradley - Time to End the Suffering of the Families of the Disappeared
SDLP BRADLEY - TIME TO END THE SUFFERING OF THE FAMILIES OF THE DISAPPEARED Back to Latest News SDLP Newry and Armagh Assembly Member Dominic Bradley has called on those information on the whereabouts of the Disappeared to come forward and end the suffering of the families. Latest News Events Mr Bradley said the families of the Disappeared are not asking for justice or retribution but only to bury their loved ones with dignity. Key Speeches Photo Gallery He said: “Throughout the history of the troubles many individuals have been killed and many families and communities have struggled with the aftermath. The overwhelming majority of families have had the consolation of waking and burying their dead in accordance with the rites of the faith in which they were raised. “The families of the Disappeared who have not yet had the remains of their loved ones returned to them have not had even that possibility open to them. They have been left, in many cases for decades, asking the why and wherefore of their loved ones’ disappearance, to wonder about their fate, to arrive at their own conclusions, and to await the recovery of their remains. “The rest of us who have experienced deep sorrow at the death of a loved one can never imagine the anguish which the families of the Disappeared have had to endure over all these years. In our own sad situations we have been enwrapped in the support and concern of our communities but in some areas the community from which people have disappeared has been silenced. -
