Masked Gunmen Threaten N. Ireland Politicians in Video

Three masked men from the New Republican Movement threaten local officials over immigration and education policies, prompting a criminal investigation by the Police Service of Northern Ireland.

  • On November 28, a video filmed and circulated on social media showed three masked, armed men in front of a Tricolour threatening politicians in Newry, Mourne and Down, prompting a Police Service of Northern Ireland criminal investigation.
  • Framing their message around immigration and schooling, the men said the New Republican Movement targets MLAs and councillors over immigration policies and 'sexual indoctrination of children in school.'
  • Local MPs and MLAs condemned the threats, with Daire Hughes stating `The sinister threats issued by faceless thugs against elected members of Newry, Mourne and Down are an attack on democracy and on the mandate each of us as elected members receives from the public`, and Eóin Tennyson calling the video 'vile and reprehensible'.
  • Politicians warned that a viable pipe bomb was left outside a Sinn Féin office in Newry, causing families of elected representatives to feel concerned and worried.
  • Recent polls show divided public views on immigration, with 59 per cent favoring tighter policy last year while a YouGov poll found only one in four saw immigration as a top local issue.
