Violence erupted in Belfast during an anti-immigration protest, leading to four arrests and significant damage to businesses owned by ethnic minorities. The far-right mob targeted areas including Botanic Avenue, attacking a Syrian-owned supermarket and a Sudanese café, while police were injured in clashes. The PSNI has vowed to use all resources to bring perpetrators to justice, with expectations of more arrests as investigations continue. Elsewhere in the UK, similar far-right riots occurred, prompting discussions on extending court hours to handle the influx of arrests. Officials have drawn comparisons to the 2011 London riots, warning potential participants of severe legal consequences. Local leaders condemned the violence, emphasizing the need for community unity against hate and intolerance.
