𝗥𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲, 𝗟𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵
📢Join us! - Saturday, 4th July, 1.30pm - Belfast City Hall

The rights of Christians, and particularly pro-life groups, are increasingly under attack. Since 2023, praying outside abortion centres has been a crime in Northern Ireland.

In February 2026, Belfast City Council have voted to approve draft bye laws that directly threaten freedom of speech, expression and peaceful Christian witness. These bye-laws introduce fines for public preaching and praying if the sound exceeds 70 decibels (the volume of a vacuum cleaner or a loud conversation, making normal preaching, praying, and even public speaking almost impossible in the city centre.

Belfast Council has also voted to ban the display of images used by pro-life groups including pictures on banners, posters, and even clothing such as t-shirts. Anyone who displays such images could face fines of up to £1,500. Pro-life information leaflets will also be censored, forced into sealed envelopes with ‘warning’ labels.

These bye-laws threaten freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and religious liberty – rights protected by both the Human Rights Act and the Good Friday Agreement. They are not about public order. They are about controlling speech, suppressing the pro-life message, and silencing Christian witness in public spaces. If faith can be silenced in Belfast today, it can be silenced Dublin, Derry or Cork tomorrow. That is why we must march on 4th July:
📢 Be a voice for the unborn
📢 Be a voice for faith
📢 Be a voice for freedom
📢 Be a voice for truth

SAVE THE DATE!
Join us on Saturday 4th July 2026 in Belfast and send a clear message. Please help promote the rally; help organise a bus; or have a parish speaker; if you would like some of our leaflets, we can post them to you! Contact us on 02890278484 or email [email protected]
