Adams defiant after being told of death threats

Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams insists he will not be deterred from speaking out despite being given warnings of death threats.

Mr Adams said the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) told him a threat had been made against him and other senior Sinn Féin figures by someone claiming to represent the banned loyalist paramilitary group the Ulster Freedom Fighters (UFF).

The Sinn Féin leader took to Twitter to state: “Just been told by PSNI of death threat against me & SF leadership by someone claiming 2 speak 4 UFF.”
