Time for Truth and Justice campaigners protest against the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill outside the Northern Ireland Office at Erskine House in Belfast The families, who all had relatives killed during the Troubles, have lodged judicial review proceedings challenging the lawfulness of the legislation and its compatibility with international human rights standards.
The statement said that they intend to lodge applications for families directly affected by the Legacy Bill to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. Una Eakin is the widow of Mr Casey, who was murdered by loyalist paramilitaries on April 4 1989 in Rasharkin, north Antrim. Mr Casey had been threatened in Castlereagh in the 1980s and a legally held shotgun was seized by the RUC during a house raid six months before his death.
In a small urban area patrolled by at least 11 heavily armed undercover British soldiers on foot, in observation positions and in cars, two UVF men were able to enter the area, murder Mr Marshall and attempt to murder his two companions, and then safely withdraw unhindered.
