Sinn Féin North Belfast MLA and Assembly Minister Gerry Kelly has today stated that he has been informed by the PSNI that a death threat has been issued against him by the Orange Volunteers.
“Yesterday I was informed by the PSNI that a death threat had been made against me; the threat stated that ‘Sinn Féin Chief Gerry Kelly is going to be shot within 48 hours – Orange Volunteers – No Surrender’,” said Gerry.
“This is the second threat made against me in recent weeks and obviously, for the sake of my family I must take it seriously.
“In saying that, no threat will detract me from working on behalf of those who elect me and in working to advance the peace and political process in Ireland.”

It is the calibre of men like yourself who like those gone before,have shown by their courage and convictions,to the World outside the narrow and nilhist
mind-set of Ulster Unionism.That the land of the Irish will be no longer impeded by backwardness and bigotry.
