Birmingham pub bombings: ‘Where’s our public inquiry?’

Six innocent men were convicted of murder and jailed for life in 1975.

However, evidence against the Birmingham Six was discredited over the years and they were freed on appeal in 1991.

While the IRA never officially admitted responsibility, it is widely believed to have been behind the attacks.

The 2019 inquest ruled the victims were unlawfully killed by the IRA, but did not determine the identities of those responsible.

Ms Hambleton said: “Every anniversary is difficult, every day is difficult, you learn to adapt for self-preservation. Time does not heal, it’s a load of rubbish.

“Time does not heal and having to fight for justice for decades only festers the grief and the sorrow the depth of loss.”
