Three charged by detectives investigating dissident republican rally

Three men have been charged by detectives investigating a dissident republican rally at a Derry cemetery.

Several hundred people attended the Easter commemoration event on 9 April last year during which a masked man read out a statement purportedly from the Real IRA threatening to attack police.

The men - aged 50, 42 and 27 - have been charged with assisting in arranging a meeting addressed by member of a proscribed organisation.

All three are expected to appear before Derry Magistrates' Court tomorrow.
