Protesters block Catholic area in Northern Ireland ahead of Orange Order march

Summary

The Orange Order march along Garvaghy Road in Northern Ireland's Portadown had not begun by its 9:30 a.m. cutoff Sunday, as the 35 Orangemen returned inside Drumcree Church while talks with police continued and protesters kept the route blocked. Around 2,000 protesters, some wearing balaclavas, linked arms across Garvaghy Road on Sunday, despite police vans broadcasting warnings that taking part in an unnotified counter-parade was a criminal offense and could result in arrest.
