South Down 32 County Sovereignty Movement
16/09/2010
Anti-social behaviour must end now.
The South Down 32 County Sovereignty Movement call for an immediate end to the growing tide of Anti-social behaviour and intimidation by a small group of youths in The Mayobridge area recently.
Several residents of the Craignamona, Lisbane park and St Annes Park estates have been in contact with the sovereignty movement with complaints ranging from persistent damage to property, intimidation and low level drug dealing. Others dealt with drinking, drug taking and indecency on a public pathway.
It is significant that the majority of complaints have been recorded following a meeting of the Newry and Mourne DPP in the Village last Monday (13th September). When asked why these residents had approached the republican movement many stated that they believed that at least two of those engaged in acts of intimidation and drug dealing were in fact passing information to the PSNI/RUC.
In calling for an end to this behaviour the 32 CSM appeal directly to these young men, youths and to their parents to ensure that such actions cease before someone is hurt or is forced to leave the area as a result of community action, it is our belief that dialogue is the most suitable way to resolve such issues and we pledge the support of the republican movement in facilitating dialogue if needed. We also pledge to stand with the community if the appeals of the community are ignored by a small number of young people within it. Anyone with concerns can contact the South Down 32 CSM.

South Down 32 CSM condemn latest approach by Special Branch/MI5

South Down 32CSM condemn approach by Special Branch/MI5.
The 32 CSM in South Down condemn an attempt to recruit one of its members by the British security services while he was going on a family holiday at the beginning of this month (September).
The member, a former Long Kesh POW, was in Belfast International Airport with his daughter and granddaughter waiting to board a flight to an Eastern European destination when he was approached by someone who identified himself as security. He was then taken to a room where two other men were present and told he had to fill out a form, he asked what it was all about and told he was being detained under section 7 of the terrorism act. At the same time his daughter and granddaughter were held in a separate room and quizzed about the man's movements and asked her would he be leaving her at any stage when on holidays to meet up with ‘friends’.
The British security agents stated that they wanted to have a word with the 32 CSM member about the ‘political situation’ and told him he was in a position to help them understand what it was republicans were about, they also told him they knew all about his friends and accomplices and what ‘organisation’ he belonged to, they then told him that they could set him up for life financially and could give him anything he wanted if he would talk to them, the man told them he had no intention of talking about the political situation to anyone least of all them and asked if he was under arrest, then he got up and left the room refusing a card they tried to offer them and went to find his daughter and granddaughter who were upset and shaken at being detained and interrogated.
The 32 CSM in South Down condemn this incident, the latest in a series of attempts by the British to entice or coerce republicans or their friends and families in the South Down area. We urge republicans and their families to remain vigilant and to report any approaches to another party as soon as possible.
