The Belfast Hight Court will hear a challenge on to the Troubles Act, the UK government’s (widely opposed) law that was put into place in September.

The law offers conditional amnesty to those accused of killings during the sectarian conflict over three decades in Northern Ireland, known as the Troubles.

It also proposed a truth and reconciliation process.

The challenge is brought by several victims of the Northern Ireland conflict to the UK Government’s widely opposed Troubles Act.

Martina Dillon, John McEvoy, and Lynda McManus are challenging the human rights compliance of the Act including its denial of inquests, lack of adequate investigations and ban on civil claims.

The victims are represented by Phoenix Law and supported by Amnesty International, who are also an intervener in the case.
