The
death threats against our members are a very serious
development reminiscent of the past thirty years whereby
individuals are harassed leading to inducements to
become informers for British forces and issued with
a death threat.
It
is particularly worrying that on this occasion there
is no attempt to conceal the fact that individuals
are being targeted for assassination and it is a matter
of extreme concern that Carl Reilly a member of our
National Executive has a death threat issued by the
RUC/PSNI.
The
32 County Sovereignty Movement is a legitimate organisation
upholding Irish National Sovereignty and the only
organisation challenging British rule in Ireland.
It
is also a sinister development that Mr Moore has not
been informed, before now, of a threat on his life.
We
call on Tony Blair the British PM and Paul Murphy,
the imposed Secretary of State, to publicly assure
these men and their families that their safety is
guaranteed.
We
further demand of them to end this intimidation and
harassment of innocent people and demand the end of
this colonial police force.
We
call on the parties allied to the puppet parliament
at Stormont to publicly denounce this practice of
recruiting touts.
A
tout is the lowest form of life and it is not about
assisting an alien police force but is all about setting
up people for murder.
We
are treating this very seriously and as a result we
ask anyone who has been approached to become an informer
to come forward to us for assistance and expose the
injustices that are presently happening, despite assurances
from the pro-agreement parties that such incidents
are in the past and that things have changed.
The
reality on the ground is, nothing has changed. The
RUC/PSNI cannot be reformed.
We
have set up a telephone help line to assist anyone
who has been approached in this way. The number is
07801729412.
We
are contacting Human Rights bodies to record and highlight
these Human Rights abuses.
Finally,
we ask the Nationalist people to be vigilant at this
time of serious threat and to inform us of any sinister
or suspicious behaviour in your areas. This could
save somebody's life.
STATEMENT
OF STEPHEN MOORE, 7TH May 03.
Re-
RUC/PSNI THREAT AND HARRASSMENT
I
am a member of the 32 County Sovereignty Movement
in the Fall's Road area of Belfast.
On
Tuesday the 6th May 03 I was returning with members
of my family from a wedding in England.
At
Aldergrove airport I was approached by two men whom
I suspect to be Special Branch and brought to a room.
They refused to produce identification and began to
question me as to why I was in England. I said, "Holiday",
and one of them said, "Was it not a wedding".
They
then produced photographs of my family and myself
at the wedding.
One
man then commenced to ask me about Carl Reilly who
is a member of the National Executive of the 32 County
Sovereignty Movement.
He
asked if I knew him and if I would set him up. "We
will make it worth your while to set him up for assassination",
he said.
They
continued to say that a top Provisional informer had
provided them with information that my life was under
threat and that if I set up Carl Reilly this threat
would be lifted.
They
named others who I do not know and named Carl who
is my mate. They asked me to "keep an eye on
them" They gave me a phone number, which I refused
to accept.
When
I got up to leave he said, "Long runs the fox".
This I took as an implied threat and I left and joined
my family.
When
I got home a note had been passed through the letter
-box to contact Constable Singleton of Grosvenor Road
police as soon as possible.
I
contacted Grosvenor Road police barracks and was told
a bluff story about producing my driver's licence.
When I asked why, I was told I was stopped and asked
to produce my licence. No such event took place.
Local
people told me the police had been at my house just
before I got home with the note.
I
have been harassed twice in the past by the police
and on both occasions I have been to my solicitor.
This
is the first time they have made clear their intentions
to have me recruited to become a tout. STATEMENT
