Thousands expected to attend Derry rally against republican group

Thousands are expected to attend a rally against the Republican Action Against Drugs group in Derry later.

It follows the punishment-style shooting of an 18-year-old in the city this week and death threats made to a businessman who had previously been shot by the group.

Pat Ramsey of the SDLP said the group, known as RAAD, needs to stop taking the law into its own hands.

The MLA for Foyle said a better society for the people of Derry can only be provided through the justice system, and not "the law of the jungle".
