(Forwarded) 'Own up to killing' - Republican Sinn F�in ============================ Republican Sinn F�in deplores the shooting dead of Joe O'Connor of Ballymurphy in Belfast today by an unknown element. We call on those responsible for this deliberate shooting to declare themselves and spell out to the people what their motives are. Local sources indicate that the deceased was associated with the 32-County Sovereignty Movement. Republican Sinn F�in has no hesitation in condemning this action and points out the obvious dangers that lie ahead. We demand that those who killed Joe O'Connor take responsibility publicly for their action and we express sympathy to his family and friends. ENDS Belfast RSF offices raided - political expression denied ===================================== In an obvious attempt to shore up the tottering position of David Trimble in the UUP the British Crown Forces (RUC) have this afternoon raided the public offices of Republican Sinn F�in at 229 Falls Road, Belfast. By clamping down hard on legitimate political expression of opposition to the Stormont Agreement and the promotion of the Republican alternative to it -- �IRE NUA, the British occupation regime in Ireland hopes to rescue Mr Trimble and placate the hard-line unionist opposition to him. What price now freedom of political expression under the new Stormont? Republican prisoners are denied political status in Maghaberry prison and open political opposition is blatantly harassed.
