Taken from the hibs website:
I understand that MacKenzie printed one of those half-hearted bland and partial "apologies" - on the direct instructions of Rupert Murdoch. But then recently he effectively withdrew even that apology and said again that he stood by the stories. The treatment those supporters and their families received from certain sections of the press (led by MacKenzie's Sun), from the coroner and from the South Yorkshire police was utterly appalling.
There are 2 books published by Mainstream - "No Last Rights" and "Hillsborough - the Truth" that tell the story pretty well.
To be fair, it wasn't just the Sun - a lot of other newpapers and BBC and ITN also carried the stories. The original sources were almost all either South Yorkshire police officers or the Police Federation. Duckenfield, the Match Commander, was caught out telling a number of lies to the press in the immediate aftermath, but was never disciplined. he was allowed to "retire on full pension" when there's a very strong case for saying that it was his mismanagement of the access to the Liverpool end that caused the deaths.

The supporters were protesting about the newspaper and wanted an apology about what was written about the Hillsborough disaster in 1996 it was a 6 minute protest

It was not in 1996.. it was for 96 people that died in 1989.
