验尸官统治英国SAS在1992年不公正地对爱尔兰共和军成员使用致命武力,推翻了国家要求。
Coroner rules British SAS unjustly used lethal force against IRA members in 1992, debunking state claims.
北爱尔兰验尸官迈克尔·汉弗莱斯先生裁定,英国特种部队士兵在1992年对爱尔兰共和军四名成员使用致命武力是没有道理的。
Northern Ireland's coroner, Mr Justice Michael Humphreys, has ruled that the use of lethal force by British SAS soldiers against four IRA members in 1992 was unjustified.
士兵们开枪射击了570多发子弹,但没有试图逮捕爱尔兰共和军成员,他们在袭击警察局几分钟后被枪杀。
The soldiers fired over 570 rounds without making any attempt to arrest the IRA members, who were shot minutes after attacking a police station.
验尸官还发现,国家机构散布有关这一事件的虚假信息,指出爱尔兰共和军成员没有象士兵声称的那样反击。
The coroner also found that state agencies had spread false information about the incident, stating that the IRA members had not fired back as the soldiers had claimed.
