Thousands of people attend an anti-racism rally in Belfast city centre following several days of unrest sparked by a knife attack earlier in the week. Multiple outlets report the demonstration draws around 5,000 people, with organisers including Unite Against Racism. The protests are presented as a response to violence that includes anti-immigrant or racist attacks in the city over two nights, which are linked by coverage to the stabbing. Reuters-style details on the rally’s programme are not provided in the supplied excerpts, but reporting focuses on the scale of turnout and the public messaging. Coverage mentions participants holding placards with slogans opposing racism and supporting “Hate is the only threat to our streets” and similar calls. Other outlets also frame the event as taking place amid ongoing tensions in Belfast, with reference to attacks and unrest during the same period. Overall, the sources agree the rally is a large, public effort aimed at condemning racism and de-escalating further disorder after the stabbing-led violence.
