Tenth person arrested

This morning, Tues 24th Oct, a tenth person was arrested in connection with the occupation and decommissioning of Derry's raytheon facility

Another member of Derry Anti War Coalition was arrested by the PSNI this morning. Goretti Horgan was arrested on suspicion of Aggravated Burglary with intent to commit criminal damage and Unlawful Assembly - pretty much the same charges as the Nine already charged. She was questioned under caution and released pending a file being sent to the Crown Prosecution Service. About 30 members of the DAWC gathered outside Strand Road police station as word spread of the arrest.

On her release, she told the protesters "like other members of DAWC, I told the police that I associate myself with the actions taken on the 9th August and take personal and political responsibility for everything that happened as we acted to repudiate the war crimes in which raytheon was involved in Lebanon and Gaza. I freely admitted having entered raytheon's office along with the Nine charged. While no one welcomes the possibility of a criminal charge carrying a heavy prison sentence, if charged I will face the court as the accuser not the accused."
