Well after years of being wrongly dismissive of the 'Justice for the 96' campaign, I am now quite shocked by what has emerged today. As per the BBC News website, the key points of the files released today are:
The panel finds that a total of 41 people out of 96 "had the potential to be saved".
The report finds 164 statements were "significantly amended" and 116 "removed negative comments" about policing operation.
Attorney general must decide whether to ask High Court for fresh inquest after report casts "doubt" on adequacy of original inquest.
The report finds flaws in the police operation and new evidence that the police carried out checks on those who had died in order to "impugn their reputations".
