βš‘οΈπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸš« The British government has banned the Orange Order parade along Garvaghy Road, in Portadown, Northern Ireland, after almost two weeks of mobilization by Catholic residents in favor of Irish reunification.

πŸ”» At the police's request, Secretary of State Chris Bryant revoked the parade's authorization, which had been granted by the Parades Commission for the first time in almost thirty years. The Orange Order has filed an appeal against the ban.

πŸ”» Since September 27, thousands of people have guarded the road to prevent the parade from passing, maintaining the mobilization despite the police presence and also involving representatives of the republican party Sinn FΓ©in.
