Loyalist protestors mount further roadblocks in Belfast

16/09/2005 - 13:15:41
Loyalists have begun mounting roadblocks across Belfast again today as part of an ongoing protest against the latest developments in the peace process.

The demonstrations are set to cause traffic chaos throughout lunchtime and further into the afternoon.

Some ATMS in Belfast are also beginning to run out of cash because security vans are avoiding the city for fear of being blockaded.

Yesterday, four people were arrested in connection with similar blockades by loyalist protestors throughout the city.

The PSNI later vowed to deal with the situation and ensure that all main roads remained opened.

Unionist politicians have said the protests, as well as a recent upsurge in loyalist violence, are linked to perceptions that loyalist culture is being eroded by the peace process while nationalists are being rewarded.
