Petrol bombers attack police monitoring parade

Gasoline bombers have attacked the police by monitoring a dissident republican parade in Londnderry led by about 50 people with a paramilitary style uniform.

Several devices were launched to the police on Derry walls when the parade opened the way from Creggan to Free Derry Corner in the swamp on Monday.

The fireworks were also thrown into the police, which had established a Bank of Land Rovers in Nailors Row overlooking the swamp. Part of the city walls has now been closed to the public.

Two men, aged 30 and 55, were arrested after the police arrested vehicles in French Street and Fanad Drive after the parade.

Many of those in the parade carried paramilitary -style clothes, in contravention of a failure of the parailic commission.

The commission also ruled that the flag relationship with a banned organization should not be shown.

The disorder developed in the Nailors Row area around 14:50 GMT, said the Northern Ireland police service (PSNI).

Gasoline bombs, fireworks and masonry were thrown, which turned out that Bishop Street nearby was closed for a while for public safety reasons and the public members were diverted from that area in the city walls.

“Despite the statement of the organizers of today’s Easter Monday that said they wanted to celebrate a worthy commemoration, what we saw was the opposite,” said Supt Gillian Kearney in a statement.

“This disorder that involves young people was orchestrated … we have no doubts about this.”

The young people were “shameless and deliberately used” in an attempt to “distract and protect masked individuals,” he added.

“This is child criminal exploitation. It is completely shameful.”

Several articles were seized from one of those who was arrested by the police.

Participants had also said that they should comply with police instructions.

It was the first time in three years that the organizers had asked permission to organize the event, which has been tarnished by violence in the past.

Last year, gasoline bombers attacked journalists and set fire to a number or vehicles.

The parades commission said that, historically, there had been a serious criminal crime associated with this parade.

It is organized by the National Republican Commemoration Committee, which organizes events on behalf of the Saoradh Republican Party.

In the past, the police have linked the party with the dissident republican group The New Ira.

Several bands accompanied the parade, which commemorated the increase in Easter 1916 in Dublin.

After the parade, as part of a proactive surveillance operation, the officers arrested two vehicles, one in the French street area and another in the Fanad Drive area.

Two men, 30 and 55, were arrested under the terrorism law and have leg tasks to the Musgrave Street station to interrogate.
