POLICE have raided the west Belfast offices of anti-agreement republican party Saoradh.

The party's offices on the Falls Road, close to the entrance to the Royal Victoria Hospital, were searched at around 7pm on Monday.

Saoradh claimed the raid was a "grotesque act of political oppression".

A police spokesman said the operation was part of an "ongoing investigation into dissident republican activity".
