## Resource

Tensions flared in Scarva as a Palestine solidarity march of 1,500 people clashed with a local counter-protest, sparking accusations of heavy-handed policing and reigniting past tensions. Despite Parades Commission rules designed to keep peace — including no entry into the village and restrictions on flags and chants — police actions like blocking a bridge drew criticism from a DUP MLA, who called them antagonizing. With a history of arrests at similar events, emotions ran high as authorities tried to manage a volatile standoff. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
