Tyrone dissident republican wins right to challenge strip searches
A dissident republican jailed for having guns and explosives has won the right to mount a legal challenge to being subjected to strip searches while held in isolation.
Lawyers representing Gavin Coyle, 37, claim he has to undergo an unlawful and humiliating process.
Granting leave for him to seek a judicial review, a High Court judge stressed the need for “a bit of humanity” in searches.
