32 County Sovereignty Movement: Ongoing House Raid in Derry.
Approximately 3pm this afternoon the RUC/Northern Ireland Police Service
raided the house of Martin O'Neill in the Gallainh area of Derry.
At the time of this press release (6.20pm) at least 15 members of the
Forensic team are still occupying and searching the premises. Mr O'Neill
arrived home with friends at 5pm to find his house completely sealed off and
subsequently he himself is currently being detained under house arrest.
One of the friends who left the scene later returned to the location with a
digital camera to record the incident in progress but was quickly tackled by
several RUC officers and forced to the floor where his camera was removed
from his person.
The atmosphere in the area is described as "tense" with a number of local
people also turning up to witness another blatant example of the harrassment
of one of their community.
Their concern, and that of the wider Republican community, is well deserved
especially after the recent stitch ups by the same notorious forensic
science department, including the case of local man Seamus Doherty.
A further update will be issued as soon as further details become available.
Message Ends.
