Pat Finucane Family Seeks Credible Inquiry into 1989 Murder

The Finucane family calls for an independent panel to ensure transparency and trust in the upcoming UK government inquiry.

The Finucane family appeared before the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission in Washington, DC, to advocate for a credible inquiry into Pat Finucane's murder.
Pat Finucane, a solicitor, was killed in 1989 in an attack linked to state collusion, prompting calls for a thorough investigation.
John Finucane, MP for North Belfast and son of the murdered solicitor, emphasized the need for an inquiry that is independent and free from government influence.
The family insists that the inquiry's terms of reference are critical to its ability to investigate the circumstances surrounding the murder.
US Congressman Chris Smith praised the family's persistent efforts over 35 years to secure an independent public inquiry.
