Lunn – No justification for threatening any politician

Alliance Policing Board member, Trevor Lunn MLA, has condemned those behind a threat against the deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness. The PSNI have warned him of a possible threat against his life.

Trevor Lunn MLA said: “There is no justification for making a threat against the life of any individual. Every politician should be able to carry out the work that they were elected to do without having to worry about being attacked.

“Any threat against an elected representative is an attack on democracy.

“All parties must unequivocally condemn this threat and any other attempt to intimidate any elected representative.

“To threaten to carry out a rocket attack shows that those responsible are callous and dangerous individuals who must be stopped. They must be urgently apprehended by the Police, so I would urge anybody with any information to contact the PSNI or Crimestoppers.”
