One of the Kincora Boys’ Home victims is taking legal action to force a full independent inquiry into the child abuse with the power to compel witnesses and the security services to hand over documents.
Gary Hoy, who was abused by two of the men who were subsequently convicted, is due to challenge Kincora’s exclusion from the inquiry in Belfast High Court tomorrow.
The move comes as Amnesty International has also called for the investigation into child abuse at the home in east Belfast to be included in the wider Westminster child abuse inquiry.
The government has so far refused calls for the paedophile abuse scandal at the Belfast home to be included within the scope of the inquiry established by Home Secretary Theresa May and headed by New Zealand judge Lowell Goddard.
The judicial review case, to commence a three-day hearing in Belfast High Court tomorrow morning, will hear allegations that MI5 was involved in covering up the sexual abuse of children in order to protect an intelligence-gathering operation it ran in the 1970s.
