Harassment Arrests in Armagh -
Three men held in British custody
Statement by RSF Publicity Officer Ruairí Óg Ó Brádaigh

Republican Sinn Féin condemns the arrests of three
cumann members in the Armagh city area in raids by
the RUC/PSNI last night as the latest incidence in the
continual harassment of Republicans by British Crown
Forces.

Masked RUC/PSNI raiders entered the home of one
man as he returned from work last night and refused
to let his children leave the house. He was then arrested
and is still being held with two other men, also members
of Republican Sinn Féin.

In previous cases this British State harassment has led
to spurious charges against members of the organisation
which were later dropped.

Ends.
