Another sectarian attack on Protestants in Rasharkin
20 December 2010
Statement by TUV Leader Jim Allister-
"I welcome the fact that the latest sectarian attack on Protestants in Rasharkin has on this occasion been followed by an arrest, though more are needed. Hitherto we have seen a distinct lack of follow up action and incidents going unpunished. I trust this time the perpetrators will be prosecuted, because only robust action through the courts will put an end to the litany of republican, sectarian attacks in Rasharkin.

"The nakedly sectarian nature of this latest unprovoked attack shows the constant threat and danger under which Protestants in Rasharkin are being forced to live."
