Defence lawyer said accused attended August 3 event in “observational role” and tried to prevent subsequent disorder
An anti-immigration protester who fronted an illegal parade in Belfast while waving an Irish tricolour has been jailed for three months.
His lawyer said he attended the August 3 event in an “observational role” and tried to prevent the subsequent disorder. Lavery, of Farnham Street in Belfast, pleaded guilty to taking part in an unnotified public procession. “He had been notified via social media and flyers posted in through his letter box,” Mr Dougan submitted.
District Judge Amanda Henderson said: “It does cross the custody threshold… it did extreme disorder in the city.”
