LONDON, April 26 (Xinhua) -- Civic buildings in Liverpool were bathed red Tuesday night as a 27-year fight for justice for victims of the Hillsborough disaster was finally won.
Hours earlier an inquest court jury cleared Liverpool fans of all blame for the worst tragedy in British football history, leaving 96 supporters dead and 766 injured.
Instead the jury concluded a two-year hearing, the longest in British legal history, by deciding the 96 had been unlawfully killed. Instead most of the blamed was heaped on the police in charge of crowd control when Liverpool faced Notts Forest in a cup semi final on April 15, 1989.
