NI: Relatives For Justice to host Pat Finucane Memorial Lecture

Victims support group Relatives For Justice (RFJ) will host the Pat Finucane Memorial Lecture in Belfast on Thursday.

The lecture is headlined “Victims’ right to truth, national security & dealing with the past: When does legitimate state secrecy become cover-up?”

The speakers include Geraldine Finucane, wife of murdered solicitor Pat Finucane, as well as human rights lawyers Frank La Rue and Paul Seils.

Mr Seils started his career as a criminal defence lawyer in Scotland and has held a number of high-profile roles, including in the Office of the Prosecutor of the ICC and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.

There will be a Q&A session chaired by journalist Yvette Shapiro.

The Pat Finucane Centre is supporting the event.
