Via The Transcripts John McDonagh marks the nineteenth anniversary of the death of Lurgan solicitor Rosemary Nelson (d. 15 March 1999) with an audio clip of the 20 March 1999 Democracy Now! episode in which host Amy Goodman played the full 4 April 1998 Radio Free Éireann interview with Rosemary as part of her news report on Rosemary’s assassination by Loyalists.

Guest writer Sean Bresnahan with a piece on Rosemary Nelson fifteen years after her death.
15 years ago today human rights solicitor and mother of three Rosemary Nelson was brutally murdered by an under-car booby-trap device outside her Lurgan home in an attack bearing the full imprimatur of the British state and its intelligence apparatus. Their fingerprints and those of RUC Special Branch were all over her death despite subsequent denials and the cover-up of the truth. The idea that the paramilitary group styling itself the Red Hand Defenders had the capacity to carry out this type of attack without state direction and assistance beggars belief and carries little to no weight in the nationalist community.
