Ruth Patterson: DUP accuse police of "sensationalist" arrest
The Democratic Unionist Party has accused the police of making a "sensationalist" arrest of its Belfast councillor Ruth Patterson.
Mrs Patterson is being questioned about comments she made on the social media website about a republican parade in County Tyrone.
In a conversation on Facebook, she had responded to someone else's post about an imaginary attack on the parade in Castlederg in which several people including Sinn Féin figures are killed.
