RUC threaten man with LVF
A DUNGANNON man who was told by the RUC last month that
his name is on an LVF death list, continues to be the
victim of constant RUC/RIR harassment.
Phoblacht reported last month how both the man's
house and he himself was photographed at the roadside
by members of the Crown Forces.
He was again singled out last Thursday when he was
stopped on the Circular Road Dungannon while driving to
the wake of Brother Oliver, a Presentation Brother who
lived in the town.
The RIR searched the car and sent for the RUC who took
his driving license. When he asked for it to be
returned they refused saying that the LVF would be
interested in it. The RUC has yet to return the driving
license.
In a separate incident in Dungannon, the RUC forcibly
removed a film from a camera after its owner had taken
photographs of the RIR harassing another local man,
Frankie Quinn .
The incident occurred on Wednesday 25 February on the
Ballygawley Road in the Tyrone town.
After being released, Quinn was stopped just ten
minutes later and searched near the home of his mother.
When he protested that he had already been searched,
the Crown Forces insisted they ``were going to do it
again.''
Complaints have been lodged with the RUC in regard to
both incidents.
