Dissidents threaten to 'name and shame'

Dissident republicans are threatening to publicly "name and shame" those they allege were responsible for a recent arson attack on a community development office in Galliagh.

A number of families were left homeless as a result of the arson attack at Fergleen Park, which destroyed two houses and the offices of the Galliagh Community Development Association.

Hard-line republicans in the area now say they plan to reveal the identities of those they allege were responsible.

The dissidents also claim that those behind the blaze actually filmed the arson attack on a mobile phone.

A spokesperson said: "The culprits had the audacity to stay and video their handiwork as terrified children were taken from their home.".

He added that local republicans had taken the decision to 'name and shame' those they claim to be responsible after calls from the local community in Galliagh.

"The people responsible should be confronted and removed from the community they seem to be intent on destroying," said the spokesperson.

Meanwhile, the same group say they also plan to publicly name an alleged drug dealer from the Creggan area of the city.

Commenting on the threats to circulate the names of the alleged Galliagh arsonists, a spokesperson for the PSNI said anyone with information on the incident should make contact with the PSNI directly.
