A reader compares the infamous Bloody Sunday in Northern Ireland with Malaysia's own Bloody Sunday .

YiFan: From what I know, 'Bloody Sunday' was a protest that took place in Derry, Northern Ireland on Jan 30, 1972. From 1969 to 1970, in a series of protest against the British, a lot of people died, detained without trial, and brutally treated by police force and British army in Northern Ireland. The struggle in Northern Ireland is a complicated issue, different from the issues that brought to a series of protest in KLCC since March 2006. But, one thing remains the same - the state has used brutality to "control" the people.
