WATCH: Sinn Féin President Mary Lou McDonald and First Minister Michell O’Neill join Walk For Truth for Sean Brown

‘This family won’t give up. This community won’t give up and the people of Ireland won’t give up’ - Michelle O'Neill

Sinn Féin President Mary Lou McDonald and First Minister Michell O’Neill also took part in Walk For Truth for Sean Brown. 

Ms McDonald told The County Derry Post they were in Bellaghy to “support the Brown family and to support the demand for the immediate establishment of the public inquiry into sean’s murder”.

“The courts have spoken - the High Court, the Court of Appeal. You can see from the thousands and thousands of people who are here, people care deeply about this,” added Ms McDonald.

“The British Government now know what they have to do, so they need to get on with it,” she added.

Ms O’Neill said it was “time for truth”.

She added: “It is time for justice. It is time to do the right thing by the Brown family. 

“I think the thousands upon thousands of people that turned out here tonight to support the Brown Family, is testimony and the British Government need to heed what is being sent here, the message, which is much more than symbolism here tonight; it is a very strong message of support.

“It is a very strong message to say, ‘This family won’t give up. This community won’t give up and the people of Ireland won’t give up’, said Ms O’Neill.
