RUC arrest 14 year old
A 14 year old school boy was shown pornographic material by RUC
members who had just arrested him for allegedly making rude
gestures.
The boy was returning to his Ardoyne home from school at 3.30pm
on Thursday 28 September, when the RUC arrested him and forced
him into a landrover.
d as the RUC were bringing the boy, the son of Sinn Féin
activiists, to Antrim Road barracks, they searched his school
bag. They then proceeded to show pornographic material to the
boy.
Speaking to An Phoblacht, Sinn Féin's Gerry Kelly, an Assembly
member for North Belfast, said that at the same time as the RUC
were abusing this young boy, loyalists were attacking nationalist
homes in Butler Walk which is only a short distance away.
``The actions of the RUC are totally reprehensible. Unfortunately
this is what nationalists throughout the Six Counties have come
to expect from this discredited force. The RUC have shown once
agian that they can never form the basis of an impartial police
service''.
