In one of the most unequivocal statements of support for the police to date, SF have urged communities across the NI to stand up against so-called dissident groups and report their activities to the PSNI.
Dissident republicans are extorting as much as £90,000 from individual drug dealers as a fee to trade on their patch, Sinn Fein claims.
Splinter paramilitary groups in Northern Ireland are also involved in trafficking illegal substances from abroad into nationalist areas, according to senior figures within the mainstream republican movement.
Gerry Adams said he would go to the PSNI and give information if it meant bringing these Dissident republicans/Criminals to court.
The INLA has evolved into a purely criminal gang heavily involved in robberies and extortion of business owners and drug dealers.
• The Continuity IRA is also operating major intimidation and extortion rackets.
• The Real IRA, or Oglaigh na hEireann, is carrying out punishment attacks on behalf of individuals involved in personal or domestic disputes.
They said they were aware of one suspected drug dealer who been forced to pay out £90,000 to dissidents for protection. The republicans involved apparently also ferried 120 kgs of drugs into Belfast from Spain.
