Former SDLP leader Colum Eastwood has appeared in court charged with taking part in an unnotified parade in Northern Ireland.
The Foyle MP was in court in Derry facing a charge connected with a pro-Palestinian rally that took place in Derry in February 2024.
The event was held at the War Memorial in the Diamond area of the city centre. After speeches, participants walked to Derry's Guildhall.
Under Northern Ireland's legislation governing parades and processions, the organisers of such events must apply in advance to the Parades Commission adjudication body for permission.
Mr Eastwood is one of several people charged in relation to the event on 14 February last year.
During this morning's short hearing, a solicitor for Mr Eastwood told the court that he intended to ask Northern Ireland's Public Prosecution Service to review the basis for pursuing the charge, as he suggested it was not in the interests of justice.
The case was adjourned to 3 June.
