Ramsey Urges RAAD To Engage In Dialogue |
|
SDLP Foyle MLA Pat Ramsey has urged Republican Action Against Drugs (RAAD) to engage in dialogue rather than violence.
His call comes after an 18 year-old man was shot in a punishment-style attack in the Creggan area of Derry.
Mr Ramsey said: "This attack has all the hallmarks of RAAD and I strongly appeal to this organisation to cease their violent actions and engage in dialogue.
"I also strongly urge the community to respond to this attack by coming forward with information about those behind it.
"Guns and beatings will not resolve drug problems in Derry and the vigilantes responsible for these activities must realise this and address issues in a democratic way without inciting fear in our communities and causing pain and bloodshed."
