Hartley harassed
REACTING to the increased number of complaints of RUC
harassment that Sinn Fein offices have received in the
last week, SF Councillor Tom Hartley has said ``the
presence of the RUC and British Army is inflicting pain
and grief by their provocative actions and petty
harassment.''
Hartley was speaking on Monday after he himself was
harassed by the RUC as he left for the City Hall to
sign the book for peace. He added that despite the
heavy presence of crown forces in nationalist areas
``loyalists are able to operate with impunity.''
Hartley has called on British Security Minister Adam
Ingram ``to immediately withdraw his forces from all
nationalist areas to allow the community to go about
their daily business free from harassment and
intimidation.''
