REPUBLICAN NETWORK for UNITY (RNU) Spokesperson, MARTIN Óg MEEHAN has slammed a forthcoming British Army Event planned for Belfast.

Mr. Meehan said; 'The City Council has organised a celebratory event in the King's Hall to 'honour' a number of British Army Regiments who returned from their imperialist and murderous activities in Afganistan.

Most Belfast citizens are totally against the imperialist wars in Afganistan, Iraq and Libya. Many Belfast families have also lost relatives at the hands of the British Military and are insulted by such a ceremony. Many more are disgusted that their hard-earned taxes are being used to fund the event'.

Mr. Meehan concluded; 'RNU calls for the ceremoney to be cancelled in the interests of all Belfast residents'
