Officers' 'hounding' of gay people 'tip of the iceberg'
A former police officer has echoed calls for the Isle of Man Constabulary to apologise for historically prosecuting gay men.
After a protest by Alan Shea in 1991, homosexuality was decriminalised on the Island the following year.
Earlier this week, human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell said an apology from the police for the way the laws were enforced was 'necessary'.
Ged Power, who served in the force during the 1980s, thinks the chief constable now has a chance to talk candidly about the police's actions before the law changed:
Firefighters attend late night gorse fire at the Point of Ayre
Government appoints new Chief People Officer
Vehicle rolls 'several times' during crash in the south
MHK frustrated DOI hasn't yet submitted horse tram business plan
"We think it's inhumane the way he was treated."
