The Five Demands

Peter Robinson, Primo Ministro dell’Irlanda del Nord, ha sentenziato con fierezza che la collaborazione dei repubblicani è stata fondamentale per gli arresti in relazione ai recenti attenti in cui hanno perso la vita 2 soldati britannici ed un agente del PSNI.
“Il PSNI mi ha detto che le informazioni ricevute dalla comunità repubblicana ha svolto un ruolo cruciale negli arresti e nelle accuse in connessione con gli omicidi”.
“Non solo vi è stato un numero maggiore di persone che hanno telefonato alla Crimestoppers Line, ma la qualità delle informazioni è stato molto utile, soprattutto da parte di persone che vivono nelle zone da cui i dissidenti repubblicani provengono.”
Peter Robinson ha aggiunto che la condanna da parte del Sinn Fein delle recenti violenze, è frutto di anni di negoziati.

Republicans helped in murder arrests – Robinson (Belfast Today Newsletter)
First Minister Peter Robinson has revealed information from republicans assisted the police in arresting suspects over recent terrorist murders.
The DUP leader confirmed he has been told by the PSNI that information they had received from republican areas in relation to the deaths of two soldiers and a police officer had proved beneficial in their investigations.
Mr Robinson welcomed the “transformed situation” in terms of co-operation.
“The PSNI told me that information received from the republican community has played a crucial role in the arrests and charges in connection with both murder incidents,” he said.
“Not only have there been a greater number of people ringing the Crimestoppers line but the quality of information has been very helpful, especially from people living in the areas from which the dissident republican terrorists come.”
Mr Robinson added Sinn Fein’s condemnation of the killings had been brought about after years of negotiations.
“Recent events also demonstrate why the DUP was right to insist on republican support for the police and the rule of law for those who would be ministers in a Northern Ireland administration before the institutions were re-established,” he said.
Sappers Mark Quinsey and Patrick Azimkar were shot dead outside Massereene Army barracks in Antrim earlier this month.
PSNI Constable Stephen Carroll was murdered while on duty in Craigavon only 48 hours later.
Dissident republicans claimed responsibility for both attacks.
