- On June 12, 2025, a rally took place in Belfast following several nights of disturbances spreading from Ballymena and other Northern Ireland towns.
- The unrest erupted following reports of a suspected sexual assault involving a teenage girl in Ballymena last weekend, leading to violent incidents such as petrol bomb attacks against police in Portadown.
- Disturbances involved attacks on police with petrol bombs, heavy masonry, and fireworks, spreading to Larne, Belfast, Carrickfergus, Coleraine, and Newtownabbey, with over 60 officers injured.
- Two individuals, one 14 years old and the other 20, were taken into custody on allegations related to riotous conduct, while Amnesty International’s Patrick Corrigan criticized political leaders for exacerbating tensions amid this stark display of racism.
- Authorities increased policing across Northern Ireland to prevent further disorder, while calls urged all parties to condemn racist attacks and implement serious anti-racism strategies.
