We, the undersigned members of the Derry community, wish to address the leadership and members of the INLA, Continuity IRA and Real IRA:
On Tuesday 24th June 2008, Emmett Shiels was murdered on our streets. That night we stood together as a community and on our behalf these words were spoken:
"We are appalled at what has been done on our streets. From here, we want two messages to go out: one of sympathy with the Moore and Shiels family, especially with Emmett's young partner; and one of anger and impatience with the people who carried out this terrible deed. The people who shot Emmett Shiels have no mandate from us. They have no right to act on behalf of the people of Derry. We are trying to move forward. They are holding us back".
We believe your continued activities bring nothing but hardship and hurt to the people of Derry. We cannot as a society stand idly by and allow our young people to be killed, injured or to end up in prison with families torn apart. The people of this city have come through several decades of terrible loss, hurt and hardship and, because of this, we must not allow our young people to engage in a so-called 'war of liberation' which has no support and will only cause further pointless hardship.
You have reached the fork in the road. We demand that you stop your campaign here and pursue your aspirations through political means only. Join the rest of the people of this city in building a city and a people that cherishes all our children and young people equally and promotes respect for honest dialogue, human rights and social justice. We owe this to all of those who have suffered in this city as a result of injustice and conflict. Most importantly, we owe it to the memory of Emmett Shiels.
