Stephen Murney Refuses to Accept Punishing Bail Conditions (Eirigi)

Imprisoned éirígí member Stephen Murney is now set to spend Christmas in Maghaberry Prison. On Friday (December 21) the Newry man refused to accept the onerous bail conditions that the Belfast High Court sought to impose on him. The proposed conditions included:

A ban on Stephen entering the city of Newry (Stephen lives in Newry with his partner and their young son)
A requirement that Stephen reside at a specified address some miles from Newry
A requirement for Stephen to wear an electronic tagging device at all times
A requirement for Stephen to report daily to Newtonhamilton PSNI barracks

Stephen was arrested on November 28th following a raid on his home by Britain’s paramilitary police. Three days later Stephen was charged with a number of ‘offences’ including that of ‘collecting and distributing information likely to be of use to terrorists’ and ‘possession of articles likely to be of use to terrorists’. These charges are extremely serious, bringing with them the possibility of lengthy custodial sentences upon conviction.
