Ramsey Calls On RAAD To Lift Death Threat

SDLP Foyle MLA Pat Ramsey has called on RAAD to lift the death threat on a man in Derry.

Mr Ramsey said: "RAAD must lift this death threat and all threats on people in Derry as they have absolutely no right to enforce this violence.

"The family concerned has been through enough recently and this intimidation is causing them extreme stress and pain.

"This organisation must also lift the ban on those exiled from Derry, put their guns away and let people in our city get on with working with our young people to help them build a positive future for themselves."
