RIR mock solicitor's death
Two Armagh men returning home from Lurgan, where they had attended
the wake of murdered human rights solicitor Rosemary Nelson, were
stopped by an RIR patrol who poked fun at them when they realised
where the men were coming from.
The pair were stopped at about 5.45pm as they travelled home and
speaking to An Phoblacht they said the RIR pulled their car into the
side of the road where they carried out a thorough search of the
vehicle.
The men were also searched, ``they were harassing us pretty badly'', we
were told.
As the pair being P-checked they told the British soldiers they had
just been to Lurgan and this was like a signal for the RIR men to
jeer and poke fun about Rosemary Nelson's death.
``The incident is all the more sickening'', said one of the men because
of how the RIR have made threats against the Lurgan solicitor over
the years and many of her clients have been harassed by this locally
recruited British squad.
