Garda Harassment of 32CSM Activists in the North-West Continues

In the past number of weeks 32CSM activists in Sligo and Donegal have come under increasing harassment from both the Gardai and the Special Branch. Three of our members in Donegal have been subject to house raids, intimidation and insinuation from the forces of the state. They have harassed the families of our members and have made unfounded allegations regarding republican activity in the region.

One of our young activists has been followed to and from his place of work and has received penalty points for spurious reasons in an attempt to prevent him from travelling. On Tuesday 25th May four 32csm members were stopped and searched twice in the space of an hour in Bundoran. The 32csm in the North West condemns this aggressive harassment of our members, and their families by the Gardai.

We encourage any republicans in the region who have suffered similar harassment to contact us with details. We will not be intimidated or discouraged from activism by this infantile range of tactics.

Sligo 32CSM Alarmed At Developing Trend

Sligo 32 County Sovereignty Movement has learned through members of the local community and media reports of a worrying trend developing in the county area. The latest of such incidents involved those responsible holding a man of over 80 years of age hostage in his own home for an hour in what can only be described as a reprehensible and cowardly act.

The ordeal this man endured is sickening and a complete violation of an individuals rights in his own home. This is not an isolated case, just one in a continuing series of attacks focusing on specific and vulnerable targets.

Sligo 32CSM appeal for members of the community to contact us with their concerns or furnish us with any information they may have in strict confidence. We call on those behind these actions to cease with immediate effect.
