REPUBLICAN NETWORK for UNITY (RNU) Spokesperson, MARTIN ÓG MEEHAN has highlighted a serious intensification of sinister anti-Republican activities across the Six Counties by British Intelligence Agencies and the RUC/PSNI.

Mr. Meehan said; ‘In recent weeks, members of legitimate pressure groups and political organisations have been subjected to British state surveillance such as phone tapping and vehicle tracking.

Clearly the war of attrition against Republicans and their families continues, based solely on their beliefs. Political activists, including RNU members are being stopped and searched on an almost daily basis. Their homes have been violently raided with no just cause, partners and children left terrified, and others approached to become informers for the British Crown. This unwarranted harassment cannot and must not continue’.

Mr. Meehan concluded; ‘Our Network will not be deflected from politically opposing partition and further erosions of our national sovereignty. RNU call on civil liberty groups to defend the rights of Irish citizens and political groups’.
