Anderson condemns brutal murder 
SPEAKING in the Assembly on Monday about the murder of Kieran Doherty on Wednesday 24 February by the so-called Real IRA, Foyle MLA Martina Anderson said: "I wish to offer my deepest sympathy to Mairead and the Doherty family, the Miller family and all of Kieran's friends as they mourn the loss of their partner, son, brother Kieran. On behalf of Sinn Féin, I totally and absolutely condemn the murder of this young Derry father. I am appealing to anyone with information to come forward and assist this investigation and having spoken to the family over the weekend, they also want justice to be sought for Kieran's murder and the family asked me to refute the allegations made against him on their behalf. They are also seeking answers as to the linkages that this group calling itself the Real IRA has with MI5.

The decision to allow the extradition of Basque ex-prisoner Iñaki de Juana to Spain is "grossly inhumane" and ignores evidence that the Spanish authorities are knowingly abusing the extradition process, spokesperson for the Don't Extradite the Basques Campaign Kevin Morrison said on Monday 1 March. "The judge expressed confidence in the Spanish judicial system which we believe is unwarranted," Morrison said. The Don't Extradite the Basques Campaign would continue to support Iñaki through his appeal against the judgment, he added.
