Thousands attend anti-racism rallies following unrest in Belfast

Thousands of people rallied in Belfast and Derry to protest against anti-immigrant violence sparked by a knife attack. The rally, organized by the Unite Against Racism group, took place on June 13, 2026. Sudanese national Hadi Alodid has been charged with the attempted murder of Stephen Ogilvie, who remains hospitalized. Participants chanted slogans such as 'Hate is the only threat to our streets' to show that the anti-immigrant rioters do not speak for them.
