List Threatening Almost 50 People Circulating In North Belfast

A list threatening almost 50 people has been circulating in north Belfast.

Sinn Féin is calling for the threats, from an unnamed organisation, to be "lifted immediately".

MLA Gerry Kelly said: "I condemn the fact that threats have been issued against these people.

"I have been contacted by mental health professionals who have made me aware that quite a number of those who have received these deplorable threats are vulnerable individuals.

"No one should be subject to these kind of threats in this day and age. These threats should be lifted immediately and those responsible need to stop these actions."
