New inquests are to be held into the 21 victims of the Birmingham pub bombings more than 40 years ago

The video discusses the Birmingham pub bombings of 1974, where 21 people were killed and over 200 injured. The Birmingham Six were wrongly convicted and later released in 1991. New evidence suggests the state may have known about the bombings in advance, and police ignored warnings. The police now admit their investigation was a major failure. Families of the victims continue to seek justice and accountability, hoping for the truth to emerge, similar to the Hillsborough campaigners.
