There was a large turn out in Derry today outside Stand Road PSNI/RUC station following the suspicious death of Strabane political prisoner, John Brady. A white-line vigil gathered together many shades of republicanism represented, many held black flags.

There was a very good turn out in total solidarity with the Brady family who were also there. Supporters held a white line picket on the road outside the barracks and there were plenty of PSNI/RUC keeping a close eye on proceedings with a large contingent of them on all roads around the barracks.

Despite the provocation activists held a very dignified vigil. Again, thanks goes to all those family, friends and republican activists who turned out which was greatly appreciated by the Brady family.
