In the hours after Lord Savile's findings were made public- while relatives of the other innocent victims celebrated their loved ones' rightful exoneration-the family of Gerald Donaghey were left hurting yet again.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDespite a welter of evidence to the contrary,Lord Saville and his colleagues found that Gerald was probably armed with nail bombs when he was shot, although he was not a threat at the time.' Among Lord Savile's other conclusions were that none of the casualties were posing a threat or doing anything that would justify their shooting,and that none of the soldiers fired in response to attacks by petrol bombers or stone throwers and many of the soldiers lied about their actions. It is clear that the Saville Report was an exhaustive and pains-taking piece of work, with much to commend it; it is equally clear,though-most obviously to Gerald's family and friends-that the report is not perfect. Indeed, the Donaghey family can justifiably argue that Saville has closed their route to truth and justice for Gerald.This publication attempts to address that injustice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Museum of Free Derry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57972625146237,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/1136\/7984\/files\/Gerald_Donaghey_Book_Cover.jpg?v=1774455684","url":"https:\/\/shop.museumoffreederry.org\/products\/gerald-donaghey-by-british-irish-rights-watch","provider":"Museum of Free Derry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
