Vigilante groups in Northern Ireland “kneecap” dozens of people every year as punishment for doing something wrong in the local area!
These paramilitary-style attacks are known as ‘kneecappings’ when they are shootings and they can be brutal. They can leave the victims, usually young men, with lifelong physical and mental injuries. Meet some of the people who have been shot as well as people within affected communities who are standing up to the attackers.
