A protest is taking place in Derry against a dissident group behind a number of so-called punishment shootings and beatings in the city.

Last week it shot two men and threatened two others.

SDLP Assembly member Pat Ramsey said: "Clearly the group has now reacted to public anger at what has happened but it needs to do more."
