Raid PSNI contro due membri RNU di Armagh

RNU targeted in political policing operation in Armagh City

Republican Network for Unity spokeperson, Martin Óg Meehan, has angrily deplored another political policing operation against RNU members in Armagh.

Reject Politica Policing | RNUOn the 31st August 2011, two homes belonging to Republican Network for Unity Activists in Armagh City had their homes raided by the RUC/PSNI. One of who is currently a member of the RNU Ard Comhairle.

Both his home and the home of his children were raided. The Ard Comhairle member’s front door was smashed in, although he was not present at the time. Upon leaving the RUC/PSNI screwed the front-door inside and outside to the door frame.

The back door was also locked and the RUC/PSNI took the keys with them, leaving a note to collect the keys, at the district office of the housing executive, which is closed on Wednesday. This basically left the RNU activist homeless for the night. When he regained entry to his home, he found it to be ransacked, with furniture and clothes strewn all over the place.

The other RNU activist’s home was raided while he was at work and they also entered his home with nobody present.
When his fiancée arrived, she was subjected to extreme verbal abuse, and at first, not even allowed to enter her own home!

These raids continued for a number of hours in order to cause maximum disruption to our activists and our communities. The Republican Network for Unity deplore the now almost daily harassment towards members of our Network. Despite ongoing harassment and intimidation from the British Police, we will continue our political activities undeterred.
