BIKERS held a protest in London yesterday against the prosecution
of a British soldier over Bloody Sunday.
Soldier F is to be charged with murdering two people after troops opened fire on civil rights demonstrators in Londonderry in 1972.
Some relatives of the 13 killed have campaigned for justice.
Veterans have reacted angrily to the decision to take legal action decades after the bloodshed.
The organisers of the Rolling Thunder event said their action is directed against the British Government rather than the victims’ families.
They were shot dead on January 30 1972 on one of the most notorious days of the Northern Ireland Troubles.
