Mills' sister calls for end to 'harassment'
Heather Mills' sister has called on the media to stop "harassing" her family, because they have been left terrified by a string of death threats.
Fiona Mills blames the "general" condemnation of her sister, following her split from former Beatle Paul McCartney last year, on "disgusting, untrue and hurtful stories" published in British newspapers.
In a letter posted on Heather's website, Fiona writes, "The main reason that I am responding is that I am deeply concerned for the safety of my sister and her daughter.
"They are receiving death threats, not because she is getting a divorce, but because some of the British tabloids decided from day one that they wish to destroy her, create hatred towards her and profit out of doing so.
"The vicious agenda of these tabloids has resulted in death threats to my family and I want to try to do something."
Last month, Mills was warned by British police that she was being targeted by a vicious gang hailing from McCartney's native Liverpool, England.
Fiona adds: "Heather and Beatrice no longer receive the protection that would be afforded to any other member of the McCartney family facing such threats. It is extremely stressful to be informed by the police of a serious risk to your life and then to be followed by strange cars and people that may or may not be paparazzi."
