Minacce di morte contro la Commissione Parate

Dissident death threat to Parades Commission

Ardoyne Riots 2009Dissident republicans have issued a threat to members of the Parades Commission and their families claiming they have “shown contempt” for the people of Ardoyne by allowing the Orange Order to parade in the area.

In a letter shown to the North Belfast News this week, dissident group Óglaigh na hÉireann (ONH) said those who sit on the parading body and their families are “legitimate targets”, after the trouble that flared in Ardoyne during the Twelfth parades.

“The Parades Commission has the power to reroute parades but in this [Ardoyne’s] case they would rather let it march through a Catholic area…,” reads the statement.

“Obviously the Parades Commission over these last few years hasn’t taken the warning.

“They have pushed the nationalist people too far, enough is enough. Which brings us to our dilemma, what do we do. We, the ONH, have no choice but to protect and defend the nationalist people…

“So we have come to the conclusion if the Parades Commission is prepared to cause these atrocities on our people, it leaves us with no choice but to put the Parades Commission and their families as legitimate targets.”

On 12 July this year violence erupted in Ardoyne following the Orange Order parade. Water canons and baton rounds were used to break up the trouble and 21 policeman were injured. Around 10 people were hit by rubber bullets, including a 13-year old boy.

A spokesman for the Parades Commission said they do not comment on security issues.
