53-year-old Northern Ireland loyalist David Stitt charged with incitement of hatred via Facebook post, denied bail.

53-year-old David Stitt, a prominent Northern Ireland loyalist, appeared in court, charged with incitement of hatred through a racially charged Facebook post. Stitt was denied bail due to the risk of re-offending. His post urged people to attend protests and lists locations for demonstrations. Stitt's defense argued he only forwarded the post, which did not contain threatening content. However, the court stated there is no place for such views in Northern Irish society.
