I've read numerous accounts from that day, from people who went, from others who had family members who had attended, and suchlike - and you read about their desperate struggle to find news about loved ones - no mobile phones of course back then - and it's heartbreaking stuff. I'm not someone who is usually 'easily moved' emotionally - perhaps on the inside, but it's usually not something that's easy to spot in me externally - but everytime i read through things like that, it genuinely brings a tear to the eyes.
I cannot begin to even imagine how it must have felt - and most of those accounts i've read have been from people lucky enough to have seen their loved-ones return home. The lucky ones. God help the unlucky ones.
It's been so heartening in the last year or two, that there might finally be some movement in terms of the files being re-investigated properly, everything being examined properly - over two decades late, but hopefully better late than never. The fight for justice must always continue, and if there was any doubt, the recent events of seeing things perhaps finally being investigated properly, should add extra motivation (if any were needed).
It might end up taking more decades that it has already taken, but one day, justice will be done. I am convinced of that. And that's why the fight must never end, until those 96 souls are finally given the justice they deserve.
