Their harassment by this British force must be condemned by all republicans regardless of the position the sinn fein leadership has taken and will continue to take as regrds British rule in Ireland . No British force has a right to treat Irish political activists in this manner - they are illegitimate and always will be they . They are an arm of the colonial forces which uphold illegitimate British rule. Hopefully their experience at their hands will remind them when the time comes of the purpose of a British police force in Ireland and theyll reject any call by politicians for them to become members of it . Dont be condemning this British force now only to find yourself doing the same thing to other republicans for their political beliefs .

Dead right!

Have you seen the half-hearted attempts at a "cúpla focal" on their website? If you enter through "As Gaeilge" you find that less than a quarter is in Irish. Most of that is bad translation, with outrageously bad spelling as well.

If they were, they would at least try to use proper grammar when giving themselves a name, but I suppose that sort of thing doesn't matter to them.

If "Ógra" are part of, or belong to, Sinn Féin, then it should be "Ógra Sinn Féin".

"Ógra Shinn Féin" means a Sinn-Féin-type "Ógra", not neceassarily belonging to Sinn Féin.

Using correct Irish may not matter much to them, but it certainly would show how much they cared one way or the other.

JK Killian,

To make myself crystal clear I am against all harassment of all political activists in the four provinces and against all those who participate in this dispicable practise from whatever organisation. You too should highlight any incidents that you have come across. If the Provisionals have any more "friends" in the RUC/PSNI that you are aware of, then it would be helpful to let us all know who they are too.

Slán anois!

"think it would best serve all republicans (regardless of party affiliation) if we could be together ..."

1. The provos engage in political policing against Republicans.

2. They will be joining their friends in the RUC/PSNI very shortly.

3. provos arent Republican. At all. Any prior involvment in The RM does not count today.

4. You are really underestimating the growing level of disgust and contempt held towards the provisionals arent you?

Political policing should be always highlighted and harassment of any kind of political activists utterly condemned. It's a totally contemptible police practise and the lowest form of so-called policing. Anyone involved in this practise should be condemned utterly! Please continue your work in highlighting such cases. I think it would best serve all republicans (regardless of party affiliation) if we could be together on at least this issue and refrain from providing the political police with a source of comical entertainment!

Go n-éirí leat!

I can't believe some of the comments on here, are you's people seriously condoning the attack of civil liberties and democracy of thes two young men, regardless of political ties, are you people really accepting of what the PSNi have done? I find it disgraceful, a long list of harassment which to me should be a thing of the past!

using socialist propaganda does not make you a socialist i am afraid. Although it does give you the credentials to fool people into believing that you are. If you were real socialists would you not be present in boh working class communities rather sitting on one side?

It also seems ironic to hear an OSF member accuse the police of being bigoted! Three words pot-kettle-black! on numerous occasions i have seen and heard OSF members shouting sectarian and extremely offensive remarks.

Death to sectarianism and all sectarians.

it is just great to see comments telling OSF that they are not so important and wonderful despite their endless boring articles about how great they are and all the very important work they do.

Ógra Shinn Féin are the youth wing of the republican movement today - they are the true inheritants of Na Fiann's proud legacy, and are actively continuing on the struggle for independence and socialism - ensuring our fallen patriots dreams become a reality!
Ógra Shinn Féin are very actively opposing Sinn Féins acceptance of policing on a partitionist basis and argued strongly at this years Ard Fheis - they continue on that campaign very strongly!
Now would you be a member of the RSF (Really Shite Fighters) or 32CSM (Cant Shoot Movement) youth club masquerading as Na Fianna? What the hell do yous do, what is your role, do you have a strategy?
Word of advice - Join Ógra shinn Féin!

Perhaps these youngsters would be better off challenging their adult masters, Provisional Sinn Féin, who are preparing their membership to join the RUC/PSNI, rather than muddying up this site with their seemingly empty-hearted cries. I think it's safe to say that no one outside of Ógra Shinn Féin believes you or your claims.
