Anger after effigy of migrants in boat set on fire in Northern Ireland bonfire
The display included more than a dozen life-sized mannequins wearing life jackets, alongside placards stating 'stop the boats' and 'veterans before refugees'.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland confirmed they are investigating the pyre as a hate incident.
The contentious display drew widespread criticism from political representatives and human rights organisations, with one archbishop describing it as 'racist, threatening and offensive'.
A prominent loyalist activist defended the Bonfire as a form of 'artistic protest' against 'mass illegal immigration', while the Moygashel Bonfire has a history of controversial displays.

Sussex parents being held in Iran's 'worst prisons', says son
The son of a British couple detained in Iran has learnt about their whereabouts after seven months of "silence and uncertainty". Joe Bennett said the UK government had confirmed Lindsay and Craig Foreman, from East Sussex, had been separated and were being held in "Iran's worst prisons". The couple, who were on a once-in-a-lifetime trip around the world, were detained by Iranian authorities in January and later charged with espionage – something the family denies. A Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) spokesperson said they were continuing to raise their case directly with Iran's government. "We are providing them with consular assistance and remain in close contact with their family members," they added. 'Leverage' Mr Bennett said his mum has been transferred to Qarchak Prison, a female-only facility that Iran Human Rights says "disregards the most basic principles of human dignity".Violence, abuse, severe overcrowding, unsanitary drinking water, a lack of basic facilities or adequate healthcare services and degrading, gender-based treatment have been documented by the NGO at the prison. Mr Bennett said his dad was being held in Fashafouyeh Prison, where inmates reportedly suffer inhumane, overcrowded and unsanitary conditions, including severely limited water resources. Mr Bennett, from Folkestone in Kent, added the family "feared" for his parents' mental and physical welfare, though they were trying to be strong for them. "We haven't really got proof of life," he said. Mr Bennett said his understanding was they had been held in solitary confinement for 30 days."I could not imagine what that was like," he told BBC Radio Kent. He said that visits by British officials had found his dad was "dishevelled and had lost a lot of weight", while his mum was not walking very well due to prison conditions. Mr Bennett added he believed the couple were being held as political "leverage". Iran's government previously held Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a British-Iranian national, for six years in what was widely seen as an attempt to pressure the UK to pay a long-standing, multi-million-pound Bennett called on the FCDO to "do everything they can" to secure their release.

A5 court judgment will be appealed, Kimmins confirms
A court ruling that the new A5 road should not go ahead is to be appealed, Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins has confirmed. Speaking during a visit to Ballygawley, Co Tyrone, Ms Kimmins said her department would be pushing forward imminently ahead of the deadline for an appeal on Friday. Advertisement In June, High Court judge Mr Justice McAlinden quashed the Executive move to approve the roads project following a legal challenge from a group including residents, farmers and landowners. Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins has said the A5 court ruling will be appealed (Liam McBurney/PA) The judge said the proposed scheme breached sections of Stormont's Climate Change Act as it did not demonstrate how it would comply with the commitment to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. There have been more than 50 deaths on the A5, which links Derry with Aughnacloy in Co Tyrone, since 2006. Ms Kimmins said: 'I certainly will not be found wanting in terms of the work that has gone into this and that will continue to go into this to ensure that we get this road built and get it built in the shortest possible time. Advertisement 'Just today we have heard of another collision. That is at the forefront of my mind in absolutely everything we do. 'We have been working across the weekend, this is the priority every single day and will continue to be. 'I will ensure that we present the most robust case.' Ms Kimmins said her department would be working closely with the Enough is Enough group, which has campaigned for the road to be upgraded, as part of the appeal. Advertisement She said: 'This was the very first test of the (Climate Change) Act and officials are working very closely with officials in Daera to look at this and looking at how we can rectify that. 'We are looking at everything here and an appeal is our first step.' DUP MLA Deborah Erskine said the appeal was a 'valid legal route', but it would 'inevitably take time'. She added: 'What is unclear from the minister is how the appeal will address Justice McAlinden's clear reference to climate targets supported by Sinn Fein, the Alliance Party and the SDLP in his ruling. Advertisement 'These targets were a key factor in the project being blocked by the court, and unless those parties act to resolve the consequences of their own policies, they risk holding up not just the A5 but a range of vital infrastructure projects across Northern Ireland.' Mr Esrkine said: 'The reality is that work on the A5 is not going to commence any time soon. 'These legal processes are lengthy, and the minister should also be looking urgently at what other steps can be taken now to make the A5 safer for all road users, and how to deal fairly with landowners impacted by the failures of DfI.'
