Letter: After the bomb: which road to take if streets are unsafe?

Sir: Those who explode bombs in our streets care nothing for human rights or justice, and those who give them tacit support forfeit such rights. The security forces may not know who perpetrates such atrocities in English cities but they know those in Northern Ireland who give them succour. Detain these murderers now, and tell the world that we do so in defence of the rights of men, women and children to walk our streets in safety. True democracy deserves no less bravery.

Yours faithfully,
