Three Attacks on Members of CFAD

Smears

Concerned Families Against Drugs is a community-based, radical and campaigning pressure group, that is committed to addressing the problems of drug abuse and associated crimes in the Ardoyne area of North Belfast.
Formed in September, 2008. Our aim is to build an effective anti-drug campaign, organising protests, political lobbying and raising public awareness about the links between drugs and criminality.

CFAD have worked consistently to reclaim our community. We consist of parents, residents and community activists who wish to see a safer area free from drugs.

In the last few days, one home belonging to a prominent member of CFAD was attacked by thugs in Ardoyne. His wife and two young children were home at the time of the attack, when downstairs were smashed by hatchet-welding hoods.

The second attack occurred a few streets away, a short time later, when acid was poured over a car belonging to the sister of another CFAD Committee member.

The third attack took place when a member of C/CFAD was beaten and verbally abused by a gang of drunken youths on the Oldpark Road, while walking home.

These attacks are the culmination of numerous smears directed at CFAD and our ongoing campaign to rid Drug Dealers from our community. In spite of these recent attacks, the North Belfast News tonight printed more spin and lies about our group, as well as publishing a letter from convicted drug dealer, Sean (Cockroach) Cassidy.

We also acknowledge and thank Gerry Kelly MLA for his statement condemning these incidents.
