Anti-Internment Parade Passes Off 'Peacefully'
An Anti-Internment parade in west Belfast passed off peacefully at the weekend, according to the police.
Hundreds of people attended the parade which started at 11.30am on Sunday, 07 August.
Assistant Chief Constable Stephen Martin said: "As in previous years, the foremost consideration of my officers today was to keep people safe and ensure that the parade passed off peacefully and within the law, that the rights of all those involved were protected and that the Parade's Commission determination was upheld.
"While an appropriate and proportionate policing operation was put in place for these reasons, once the parade had dispersed, the area quickly returned to normal and all roads were re-opened.
"I would also like to thank Belfast's District Commander Chief Superintendent Chris Noble and all the officers and staff involved in today's policing operation."
