RSF STORM CRAIGAVON 'DPP' MEETING

At least forty people attended a Republican Sinn Féin protest during a public meeting of Craigavon's so-called “District Policing Partnership”, held at St. Anthony's Hall, Legahory Centre, Craigavon, Co. Armagh on the night of Thursday, 7th February.

The meeting was initially picketed, and the protesters later entered the venue en masse. They made clear their opposition to the body, which acts in collaboration with the British Colonial Police, and also voiced their anger at the arrests of members and supporters of Republican Sinn Féin (including the Chairperson of the Ulster RSF Executive) in Newry and Jonesboro during the week. The organisation also congratulated the youth of Newry for their resistance to the prolonged British invasion of the area.

RSF have since learned of a sixth arrest in the area.
