Fermanagh Youth rally against RUC
Fermanagh Sinn Féin Youth held a march and rally to the RUC
barracks in Enniskillen last Sunday. The crowd heard speeches by
Assembly members Gerry McHugh (Fermanagh-South Tyrone) and John
Kelly (Mid-Ulster).
Gerry McHugh demanded the immediate disbandment of the RUC rather
than an attempted reform and called for their replacement to be a
credible policing service which would be acceptable to
nationalists.
John Kelly was concerned that the Policing Commission would only
concentrate on present RUC excesses rather than their past ones
and called for the establishment of a Truth and Justice
Commission to bring those guilty of human rights abuses and
collusion with loyalists to justice. He reminded present RUC men
of how a Sergeant Campbell of the force was murdered by his own
colleagues because he was going to expose their true nature.
The crowd was also addressed by SFY Fermanagh co-ordinator Fintan
Maguire.
