Recent immigration-related riots in Belfast have involved arson and vandalism of private residences. The Guardian reports that police in Northern Ireland were alerted months ago to the existence of a “hit list” circulating within far-right circles. This list reportedly contained addresses of properties subsequently targeted during the unrest. Authorities had prior warning of potential violence directed at specific locations. The unrest stems from tensions surrounding post-Brexit arrangements and immigration. Investigations are ongoing to determine the full extent of the list and those involved in creating and utilizing it. The incidents raise concerns about escalating extremism and targeted attacks in the region.
