But on Sunday January 30th 1972 thirteen unarmed protesters were shot and killed by British soldiers.
A fourteenth person injured that day died at a later date from the injuries sustained that day.

In 2010 the British government after many proceedings determined the soldiers were in the wrong and they even apologized.
