Northern Ireland’s Sinn Fein faces police probe as protest tensions fester | Protests News | Al Jazeera

Northern Irish police have contacted Sinn Fein representatives regarding an investigation into a protest that blocked a Protestant parade from marching through a Catholic area. Sinn Fein confirmed receiving police correspondence and expressed support for Garvaghy Road residents facing provocation and an unwanted Orange march. The High Court permitted the Orange Order to march on Garvaghy Road for the first time in 28 years, prompting police to investigate the unlawful protest, with some suspects expected to receive interview letters. Sinn Fein leaders Michelle O’Neill and Mary Lou McDonald participated in the protests, while the DUP called for their prosecution, emphasizing that no one is above the law.
