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 anywhere 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.
Join us on Saturday 4th July 2026 in Belfast and send a clear message for Life, Liberty & Faith.

DÉ SATHAIRN 4 IÚIL 2026 1.30 I.N.
HALLA NA CATHRACH BHÉAL FEIRSTE

Tá cearta Chríostaithe, agus go háirithe, ghrúpaí ar son na beatha, faoi ionsaí tromchúiseach. Ó 2023, tá sé mídhleathach guí lasmuigh de lárionaid ghinmhillte sna Sé Chontae. Anois, tá Comhairle Cathrach Bhéal Feirste tar éis fodhlíthe a cheadú a gcuireann isteach go díreach ar shaoirse cainte agus ar fhinnéacht Chríostúil shíochánta.
Cuireann na fodhlíthe seo isteach go mór ar sheanmóireacht phoiblí, phaidreoireacht agus fiú ar labhairt. Vótáil Comhairle Bhéal Feirste freisin cosc a chur ar thaispeántas íomhánna a úsáidtear ag grúpaí ar son na beatha, lena n-áirítear pictiúir ar bhratacha, ar phóstaeir, agus fiú ar éadaí, le fíneálacha suas le £1,500.
Déanfar cinsireacht ar bhileoga faisnéise ar son na beatha freisin, gan aon rogha ach iad a chur i gclúdaigh litreacha i dtaisce sealadacha séalaithe le lipéid “rabhadh” orthu.
Déanann na fodhlíthe seo bagairt ar shaoirse cainte, ar saoirse léirithe agus ar shaoirse creidimh - cearta atá faoi chosaint ag an Dlí um Chearta Daonna agus Comhaontú Aoine an Chéasta. Baineann siad le smacht ar chaint, leis an teachtaireacht ar son na beatha a chur faoi chois, agus le finnéacht Chríostúil a chur ina dtost i spásanna poiblí.
Sin é an fáth go gcaithfimid a bheith i láthair ar an 4ú Iúil:
• Labhair amach ar son an leanbh gan bhreith
• Labhair amach ar son an chreidimh
• Labhair amach ar son na saoirse agus na fírinne
Bí linn Dé Sathairn 4 Iúil 2026 i mBéal Feirste agus seol teachtaireacht shoiléir: Ní hionann creideamh agus antoisceachas; Ní hionann an Phaidreoireacht agus achrann; Ní hionann an Fhírinne agus fuath; Ní coir é an Coinsias.
CRUINNIGH Ó 1.30 i.n. AR AGHAIDH AG HALLA NA CATHRACH, BÉAL FEIRSTE, CHUN DUL AR MHÓRSHIÚL AR A 2 I.N.

Sobota, 4 lipca 2026, ratusz w Belfaście, 13:30

Prawa chrześcijan, a zwłaszcza grup pro-life, są poważnie zagrożone. Od 2023 roku modlitwa przed ośrodkami aborcyjnymi jest w Irlandii Północnej przestępstwem.Teraz Rada Miasta Belfast zatwierdziła projekt przepisów, które bezpośrednio zagrażają wolności słowa i pokojowemu świadectwu chrześcijańskiemu.
Przepisy te wprowadzają grzywny za publiczne głoszenie kazań, modlitwę, a nawet przemawianie. Rada Miasta Belfast przegłosowała również zakaz wyświetlania wizerunków wykorzystywanych przez grupy pro-life, w tym zdjęć na banerach, plakatach, a nawet ubraniach, z grzywnami do 1500 funtów.
Ulotki informacyjne pro-life również będą cenzurowane i umieszczane w zapieczętowanych kopertach z etykietami „ostrzegawczymi”.
Te przepisy zagrażają wolności słowa, wolności wypowiedzi i wolności religijnej – prawom chronionym zarówno przez Ustawę o Prawach Człowieka, jak i Porozumienie Wielkopiątkowe. Chodzi o kontrolowanie mowy, tłumienie przesłania pro-life i uciszanie chrześcijańskiego świadectwa w przestrzeni publicznej.
ZAPISZ TĘ DATĘ! Właśnie dlatego musimy maszerować 4 lipca:
• Bądź głosem nienarodzonych
• Bądź głosem wiary
• Bądź głosem wolności i prawdy
Zgromadźmy się o 13:30 przy ratuszu w BELFAŚCIE, aby wymaszerować o 14:00.

The All Ireland Rally for Life is the largest annual national pro-life event in Ireland which seeks to protect the right to life of every person. It does not espouse any other cause or platform and the organisers ask all participants to participate in a spirit of generosity to unborn children and women with unexpected pregnancies.
We ask all those in attendance to support the aim and message of the day. With that in mind, we ask that materials and leaflets pertaining to other causes, events or organisations are not distributed on the day.
