Three men are due before court in Lisburn tomorrow morning in connection with suspected dissident republican activity.
The suspects were arrested in Lurgan, Co Armagh, last Monday morning under rarely-used legislation and are due to appear at Lisburn Magistrates’ Court tomorrow.
A PSNI statement said: “The charges, some of which have been used seldom in the past in Northern Ireland, are the result of an investigation led by police into dissident republican terrorist activity.
“Officers have worked closely with colleagues in the security service and, latterly, with the Public Prosecution Service to reach a point where charges have been brought.
“The PSNI remains absolutely committed to using every mechanism available through the criminal justice system to reduce the threat posed by terrorist networks and to keep everyone in our community safe.”
Police inquiries are continuing.
Three men and a woman arrested in Carrickmore, Toome, Omagh and Pomeroy last Saturday as part of the same investigation remain in custody.
The charges are related to ongoing intelligence operations by both the PSNI and MI5, the Security Service, rather than any specific threat, it is understood.
