REPUBLICAN NETWORK FOR UNITY (RNU) Spokesperson, MARTINÓG MEEHAN has slammed the brutal beating of an Armagh man last Friday night (9/3/12) by the unchanged RUC.

The young man had just left a local Bar in the city, when he was grabbed by an RUC/PSNI Patrol and beaten. He was forcibly trailed into an armoured Land-Rover and driven to a wooded area, close to the Barracks. Where he was again beaten and threatened; ‘not to report his ‘arrest’ or it would be worse on him, next time’.

Another RUC/PSNI thug told also said; ‘if I see you again, we’ll put a plastic bag over your head and you’ll be shot and left in the woods’.

The terrified man reported the assault and threats to RNU, who advised him to inform his family and seek legal advise.

RNU ask the Nationalist and Republican community in North Armagh and beyond to be vigilant against these attacks. Political Policing remains the main focus of the RUC/PSNI. Different Name -Same Aim!
