Atteso domani mattina il comunicato lealista sulle armi

Loyalist arms statements expected

Loyalist paramilitaries are expected to give details of decommissioning in separate statements on Saturday.

UVF - Ulster Volunteer Force - For God and UlsterThe UVF and Red Hand Commando are expected to say they have decommissioned all of their guns, ammunition and explosives.

It is believed the UDA will confirm it has started to decommission its arsenal.

Details of the UVF/RHC move will be given at a press conference in east Belfast on Saturday morning.

It is believed Progressive Unionist Party leader Dawn Purvis and former assembly member Billy Hutchinson will be present at the event.

Former BBC security correspondent Brian Rowan said a joint conference had originally been planned, but because UDA decommissioning has been started rather than completed, it would give a separate statement.

Four years ago the IRA put its weapons beyond use in decommissioning witnessed by two churchmen.

The latest decommissioning comes ahead of Secretary of State Shaun Woodward‘s August deadline for significant progress on loyalist arms.
