THE death threat issued this week against a Derry man by the vigilante group calling itself ‘Republican Action Against Drugs’ (RAAD) should be lifted and the group disband, Sinn Féin Foyle MLA Raymond McCartney says.

The man named by RAAD in a statement to the media was shot by them two years ago for allegedly selling ‘legal highs’ at his shop.

The campaign group ‘RAAD – Not In Our Name’ is holding a rally in Guildhall Square this Saturday.

Sinn Féin MLA Raymond McCartney said:

“Let nobody be under any illusion that this gang has any concern for the welfare of our community.

“I repeat my earlier calls to anyone involved with this vigilante gang who has any concern for the people of Derry and the wider area to stop and examine the negative impact of their actions and walk away from those who are directing this community intimidation before they inflict further hurt on their own people.”
