“a political logic at work” – redux
The BBC reports confirmation of claims from Republican Sinn Féin, noted in the comments zone here, that “one of the men being questioned about the murder of police officer Stephen Carroll has been refusing food since last week”.
A spokesman for Republican Sinn Fein said the man’s health was deteriorating. The police said he has been receiving daily medical attention. A PSNI spokesman added that arrangements were being made to let the man see his own doctor.
[Is that another legacy issue? - Ed] Perhaps.. Adds BBC report.
Six people being held in connection with the murders of two soldiers and a police officer in NI have launched a High Court challenge to the extension of their detention period.
Update As two others are released without charge.
Since the comments zone has apparently descended into solely the preserve of impersonators and trolls I’m closing the comments zone on this post early.
I’ll also be removing some of the comments.
If anyone has an issue with that, take it up with Mick.
