Pearse Jordan was a Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) member/Volunteer killed whilst unarmed, by an RUC officer. In 2001, the European Court of Human Rights ordered the British Government to pay fines to the families of several IRA men, including Jordan's, after holding that the men's human rights were violated by flawed inquest procedures. Following this judgment, the British law regarding inquests was changed. Wikipedia
