"Christopher Catney claims he is being harassed by British security services. Christopher Catney has instructed his lawyer to explore seeking a High Court injunction amid claims he is being harassed by the security services....

In a statement prepared as an initial stage in the legal process, Mr Catney claimed he has come under increased attention from MI5 and the PSNI. He alleged that officers called at his ex-partner’s home looking for him, and that unmarked cars followed his taxi.

The level of attention increased following an approach by MI5 agents while on holiday last November, according to his account."
