On Saturday, September 1, a member of Republican Sinn Féin in Tyrone was assaulted and arrested during another in a long line of stop and search operations. He has now been released but must appear in court on September 25 on charges of disorderly behavior, resisting police and assault on police.
During this “stop and search” our member was taken from his car, thrown to the ground and then had two pairs of handcuffs put on him. After being ...
The arrest and remand this morning, August 9, 2018, of our comrade and Sinn Féin Poblachtach member Chris Hamill is just another indication that police, judges and court in the Occupied Six Counties are unchanged.
The RUC/PSNI said he broke bail conditions, imposed on him from previous arbitrary arrests and ongoing court cases, in that he was associating with others who are before the courts. At a time where drug-dealers are released on bail with no conditions, murderers walk the ...
