Patsy Duffy to be remembered in Derry 47 years after he was shot dead by undercover British soldiers
The late Patsy Duffy who was shot dead by undercover British soldiers in 1978 will be commemorated on his 47th anniversary in Derry this weekend.
The 32 County Sovereignty Movement in conjunction with the family of late IRA Volunteer will be holding a wreath laying commemoration at his grave at the Republican plot in the City Cemetery at 1pm on Sunday.
Mr. Duffy, who was aged 50 when he was killed, was unarmed and shot 14 times in the back by undercover soldiers in a property in Maureen Avenue on November 24, 1978.
A spokesperson for the 32 Country Sovereignty Movement said: “The nauseating spectacle of those who claim to represent the legacy of volunteers such as Patsy Duffy, now openly attend British royalist and imperialist events like the coronation of the British King and commemorative British Army ceremonies.”
