Frazer Refused Bail
Willie Frazer has been refused bail when he appeared at Belfast Magistrates Court to face six charges linked to the ongoing flag protests, including taking part in an unnotified public procession, obstructing traffic and possessing a stun gun.
53-year-old Frazer was refused bail after the judge was told there was a risk he might reoffend.
Mr Frazer was told he could apply for bail in the High Court but he declined this option, saying he would "rather stay in jail".
Meanwhile, another loyalist campaigner, Jamie Bryson, was also arrested on Thursday.
Police are questioning the 23-year-old on suspicion of public order offences, again linked to the protests.
It is alleged that Bryson is refusing food and water while in custody.
