[United Kingdom] Protests: Peaceful protest

On 9 April 2025, protesters gathered outside the High Court in Belfast - South (Northern Ireland) to oppose the construction of a North-South electricity interconnector, which would involve erecting over 100 pylons across a 34 km stretch of countryside in Armagh and Tyrone. Protesters argued that the pylons would industrialize the rural landscape, harming tourism, farming, and the environment, and demand that the cables be placed underground instead.
