To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many persons have been charged in connection with the incident in which two young men were publicly paraded with placards on the Shankill Road, Belfast, on 11 January 2008. (183026)

I have been advised by the PSNI that no persons have as yet been arrested or charged in connection with this incident and enquiries into this matter continue. All acts of criminality should be dealt with through the proper authorities and the criminal justice system and I urge anyone with information in relation to this incident to contact the PSNI.
