The men were arrested by police in Derry

Three men were arrested and subsequently released following the funeral of a member of the Irish Republican Socialist Party (IRSP) and Irish National Liberation Army (INLA).

Terry Robson was buried in Londonderry on Saturday.

The IRSP and republican paramilitary group the INLA are closely linked.

A video of masked men flanking his coffin as it was carried from his home in the city has been circulated online.

It is understood the three arrests were in connection with this incident.

Police said they were also investigating another video showing three masked men firing a volley of shots over his coffin in the days leading up to his funeral.

A spokesperson said the arrests were "not in relation to this".

The men - aged 23, 53 and 56 - were arrested in Derry under the Terrorism Act and later released on police bail.

Two vehicles were also seized, along with other items - including a wooden baton, clothing and mobile phones.
