On Sunday 15th November éirigi took part in a sponsored walk on Divis mountain.
The walk was organised by éirígí activists to raise funds for the party and included a short demonstration at a British military communications post on the mountain, which is on the outskirts of west Belfast
When they were making their descent from the mountain they were met by roughly 30 riot clad paramilitaries of the RUC/PSNI, 2 helicopters, up to 8 Armoured landrovers and several unmarked cars. Bear in mind that this was not an armed rebellion, it was a sponored walk involving women and children.
They stopped and searched everyone present and even searched a child's pram, they also searched passers by who had nothing to do with the sponsored walk!
When éirigi approached the media about the harassment, they in turn contacted the British crown forces. Not surprisingly the RUC/PSNI denied that they had been in the area and they did not stop or searched anyone on Divis Mountain.
When éirigi activists contacted the Andersonstown News and provided dozens of stop and search documents as well as photographic and video evidence the Crown forces were forced to admit that they were lying and that they were in the area.

éirigi have released the following video which exposes the harassment and lies from the RUC/PSNI
This is not normal policing, this is not civic policing. This is the same policing that we have been subjected to for decades. Nothing has changed with this paramilitary force except their uniform and badge.
Some people tell us that it's better now that there are more Catholics in the RUC/PSNI. Lets make one thing clear, it doesn't matter if the cop harassing you is a catholic, protestant, Hindu or Muslim. Religion does not even come into it. They are part of the British establishment and will do anything to protect that.
They are a Colonial British Militia whose main role is to protect the British union and enforce British laws in Ireland. They are a part of the British occupation forces.
They harass, intimidate, threaten, bribe, frame, assault and imprison Irish Republicans and as proved by éirigi they are lying scumbags.
The RUC/PSNI are as much part of the occupation as the British army or Mi5. If you support one you support them all.
THEY ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO NO-ONE
THEY SHOULD BE RESISTED, EXPOSED AND OPPOSED AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY!!!
All that police!....for a small group of protesters. What did they think?....the protesters were carrying bombs or something? It reminds me of George Orwell's film 1984. I bet the helicoper came lower down to make their demands over their speakers. The police even harassed the Colin Duffy family too not that long ago claiming that they can stand and protest, but can't walk along the payment in protest. ffs it was a protest march, but you're not allowed to march.
