A protest organised by the Tony Taylor Justice Campaign group is set to take place outside the PSNI Station on the Strand Road this weekend

A protest is set to take place outside the PSNI Station on the Strand Road this Saturday at 2pm.

The protest was organised by the Tony Taylor Justice Campaign group, who are calling on people to join them in their protest.

"The purpose of this protest is to highlight the fact that Tony Taylor has been incarcerated for one year without charge or trial," said a representative.

"We have chosen this location as the public face of the justice system with Tony having been arrested by the PSNI on March 10th last year and taken to Maghaberry prison.

"The decision to detain Tony was made by the Parole Commission and British Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and is based on an MI5 assessment which alleges ‘republican activity,’ the same ‘republican activity’ for which Tony was questioned and unconditionally released in October 2015.

"Tony’s case is regarded by many as internment in all but name and should be of real concern to all with an interest in human rights," said a representative.

"Internment has been used in the past as a repressive tool of the Stormont regime to silence political opponents and to curtail lawful political activity. This policy failed in the past and it will again."
