Diecinueve detenidos tras dos noches de disturbios en Belfast

La Policía del Servicio de Irlanda del Norte arrestó a un hombre sudanés bajo sospecha de intento de asesinato tras un ataque con cuchillo en Belfast que dejó gravemente herido a una víctima de unos cuarenta años, informó The New York Times. AP News indicó que el sospechoso era un solicitante de asilo sudanés y que su detención desencadenó manifestaciones antiinmigración en Irlanda del Norte e Inglaterra. CBS News señaló que grupos de extrema derecha aprovecharon el hecho para organizar protestas adicionales contra la inmigración. Tras el ataque, manifestantes enmascarados incendiaron un autobús, vehículos y viviendas en Belfast, según NPR, lo que generó condenas de autoridades. La policía empleó cañones de agua para dispersar a los aglomerados que lanzaban ladrillos y provocaban incendios cerca de la rotonda Sandyknowes, informó The Guardian.

La BBC añadió que se enviaron refuerzos de la Policía de Escocia mientras los disturbios continuaban durante la noche. Las protestas se extendieron a otras ciudades del Reino Unido después de que un vídeo del ataque se viralizara, informó DW. com. Al concluir las dos noches, The Guardian confirmó que diecinueve personas, incluido un adolescente, fueron detenidas. Líderes políticos, entre ellos el subcomandante Ryan Henderson y el primer ministro Keir Starmer, pidieron calma antes de las próximas manifestaciones antirracistas en Belfast y Glasgow.
