Home secretary Theresa May risks looking like she is now playing her part in a decades-long cover-up, says Amnesty International.
The organisation has branded a statement from the Home Secretary, which excludes Kincora Boys’ Home from the UK child abuse inquiry, as a “missed opportunity” for truth.
Amnesty International’s Northern Ireland programme director Patrick Corrigan said: “The Home Secretary risks looking like she is now playing her part in a decades-long cover-up.”
The Ministerial statement named new panel members for the statutory inquiry into child sexual abuse in England and Wales, but did not address the call for Kincora to be included within its remit.
