Interview with Kieran McEvoy for the BBC
Audio interview with Kieron McEvoy, Reader of Law and Transitional Justice and Director of Research at Queen’s University Belfast, by the BBC.

McEvoy discusses the difficulties of re-integrating these prisoners into society. This interview forms part of the BBC Northern Ireland A State Apart online resource which documents thirty years of peace and violence in Northern Ireland from the Troubles to the Belfast Agreement/Good Friday Agreement.
