Still Under Siege
graffiti/writing
Free Seamus Doherty
“Planted evidence – RUC collusion – altered statements. This man is a victim of State manufactured evidence supported by Denis Bradley. Come out and support the campaign for his immediate release.” Seamus Doherty was arrested in June 2003 in connection with two booby-trap car bombs outside Newry in September 2002. The case against him collapsed after the police admitted altering statements to protect an informer, along with police possession of Doherty’s DNA from an unrelated incident. He was released in November, 2004. (An Phoblacht | saoirse32 | indymedia)

End Siege Of Short Strand
Short Strand is a Catholic enclave of about 1,000 people in Protestant east Belfast. Throughout 2001 and 2002, the interface saw gun battles and rioting between the two factions. Here is a Guardian account of events in 2002. Above is a rejection of the new PSNI “There are many reasons for not joining the PSNI – this is just one” with a series of wanted posters (seen Collusion! Collusion! and Collusion Is State Murder plus one of Patrick Mayhew). Both parts by Ógra Shınn Féın. Divis Street, Belfast.
