Protests occurred in Belfast on Tuesday evening following a stabbing incident on Monday. Anti-immigration protesters set fire to buildings and vehicles and blocked roads after a stabbing allegedly committed by a Sudanese refugee.

He is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday. Northern Ireland's First Minister, Michelle O’Neill, condemned the protests, calling them 'disgusting cowardice' and urged for calm. Leaders of Northern Ireland’s main political parties issued a joint statement condemning the violence. The interior ministry confirmed the suspect was a Sudanese refugee with a residence permit valid until 2028.
