The brother of a North Belfast teenager who was brutally tortured and murdered by the UVF 35 years ago next month has dubbed unionist politicians, lobbying Libya for compensation for IRA victims, as "hypocrital" for leaving families of loyalist violence out in the cold.
A delegation - led by DUP MLA Jeffrey Donaldson and North Belfast MP Nigel Dodds -  representing victims of the IRA is set to fly to Libya at the weekend in a bid to reach a multi-million pound compensation settlement.
Ligoniel Road man Paul Armstrong was just 18 years old in 1974 when he was abducted, tortured and shot in the head four times before his body was found in a derelict bakery in Byron Street in the Oldpark area. The murder was claimed by the Protestant Action Group, a cover name for the UVF.
No one was ever brought to justice for the brutal murder and no one ever came forward with any information, despite Paul being abducted in broad daylight on the Ligoniel Road and tortured for up to seven hours before his death.
His brother Gerry said that he is "sickened" by the  cross-parliamentary group heading to Libya in a bid to extract compensation from the government when hundreds  of families in the North lost their loved ones at the hands of loyalists and the British state.
"It sickens me and makes me angry when I see them go to Libya and say there is no hierarchy of victims when there obviously is," he said.
"I honestly believe Paul was allowed to die to maintain political expediency. He was abducted in broad daylight on the Ligoniel Road in 1974 when the place was coming down with the RUC and foot patrols, yet no one saw anything and no one ever had any information.
"I can remember so well the police coming to our house, I was only 19 at the time and the policeman saying they would hunt to the ends of the earth to look for Paul's killers. We never heard from them again.
"I don't want money but what I do want is someone in power to stand up and say what was allowed to happen.
"I know the truth, I know someone, somewhere knew about Paul's killing but it never came out. I just want it acknowledged.
“I’m wondering, like many hundreds of families who have lost loved ones at the hands of the UVF killer gangs, what country does the family of Paul Armstrong sue or bring a lawsuit against?"
Paul's mother and father died without ever getting justice for their son.
His mother Mary was so distressed by the gruesome nature of her child's death she could not attend his funeral or visit his graveside at Milltown Cemetery.
"My mother died a broken hearted woman. When we got Paul home and they opened the coffin, he had no hands, they had cut off his fingers. That makes me so mad and angry and I often think about what he went through in those hours.
"As long as I'm alive I will keep mentioning Paul's name because there are hundreds of families like us, who aren't high profile enough to get justice. The politicians can travel to Libya and demand money for one part of the community, I want justice for Paul."
