Twelve men have been arrested in the North following a dissident republican parade.

The PSNI said the men were detained in the Kilwilkie area of Lurgan yesterday on suspicion of offences under the Public Processions Act.

One of the suspects, a 51-year-old man, has been charged with taking part in an unnotified public procession and is due to appear before Craigavon Magistrates' Court on June 22nd.

Three of the men have since been released on police bail to return at a later date, while another two have been released unconditionally. Six others remain in police custody.

Those arrested were from the Republic and were returning to Dublin when they were stopped by police, according to the BBC.

Footage of the parade shows masked men marching through a housing estate to a memorial.
