On Saturday 27th May, Ogra Shinn Fein in strabane held a "Smash Political Policing" protest at railway street in the town. The protest was in response to the recent harassment of young Republicans in west Tyrone by the RUC/PSNI. During the protest, a number of Ogra Shinn Fein activists occupied the rooftop of the library and dropped a banner reading "Smash Political Policing Now". The protestors sounded airhorns and whistles to get the public's attention, while activists on the ground distributed information leaflets on political policing. While returning from the protest one young activist was approached and grabbed by a member of the RUC/PSNI, though when confronted by another group of protestors the harassment ceased. ... read full story / add a comment
