A Chairde

31/o7/09

It has been brought to the attention of 32 County Sovereignty Movement members in Co. Fermanagh of an attempt by the PSNI/RUC to recruit as an informer a relative of ex Republican POW John Connolly.

John's relative who comes from Co.Cavan was driving through a part in Co Fermanagh when he was forced to pull his car in after being given the siren by the PSNI/RUC he was then subsequently arrested on road traffic matters and brought to Enniskillen PSNI/RUC station were he was put into a cell there.

After half an hour in the cell the man overheard people talking about his relative John and others in the Fermanagh/Cavan area.

Then his cell door was opened and he was brought to a small holding room were two plain clothes men who never identified themselves asked him would he have information on terrorist activity in the area the man comes from.
He said "no i know nothing" at this point one of the plain clothed men who had a scottish accent handed John's relative a piece of paper with a number on it and said "listen you can help us save lives" at this point John's relative refused to co-operate with anymore questions and asked to be released.

The man was subsequently then released from custody and came straight to the 32 County Sovereignty Movement and told them what had happened him.
We in the 32 County Sovereignty Movement here in Fermanagh would like to commend this man for coming forward with this information.

Furthermore the 32 County Sovereignty Movement would like to reiterate that should anyone else be asked to become an informer or any form of pressure being put on them from the PSNI/RUC they should come forward to the 32 County Sovereignty Movement and we will help you!
