Ms Sugden described it as a “deep injustice” which continued to cast a dark shadow to this day.
Speaking on July 31, Ms Sugden said: “Today, I stood with Claudy families in remembrance of their loved ones who were taken 50 years ago.
“Nine innocent lives, their families and the community were changed forever on a horrific day that has cast a dark and long shadow since.
“God bless the people of Claudy as they continue to carry loss, suffering and injustice. I hope they continue to find strength, love and eventually peace.”
