Summary

A standoff continues in Portadown, Northern Ireland, over a planned Orange Order march through Garvaghy Road, a largely nationalist area. The Parades Commission approved the march for the first time in 30 years, but residents of Garvaghy Road have blocked the road and taken legal action to prevent it, citing historical grievances and sectarian concerns. The Police Service of Northern Ireland has refused to allow the Orange Order to proceed. A fresh legal challenge by residents is being heard at the Court of Appeal. Both sides have organized rival rallies, with high-profile politicians participating. Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle O'Neill participated in an unnotified protest; she has denied allegations of breaching conduct codes. Celebrities including Noel Gallagher, Johnny Marr, Paul Simonon, Paul Weller, KNEECAP and Imelda May signed an open letter supporting the Garvaghy Road community and calling for international mediation. As residents' representatives entered the court building, applause and cheers came from the crowd outside. Talks to resolve the dispute have failed, and positions remain entrenched.
