Republican accuses PSNI of threats

A member of the 32 County Sovereignty Movement has accused police in the North of threatening him in an effort to force him to inform on a friend.

Stephen Moore told journalists in west Belfast today that police spied on him at a recent family wedding in Britain.

He claimed they subsequently approached him at an airport in the North and told him his life would be under threat unless he set up an executive member of the 32 County Sovereignty Movement for "assassination".

Mr Moore said he feared for his life following the incident.

The 32 County Movement is allegedly linked to the Real IRA, but it has denied any such links.
