  "account": "The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) is investigating 60 individuals involved in a nationalist protest on Portadown's Garvaghy Road, which disrupted a controversial Orange march. Among the 18 people already interviewed for their role in a 12-day stand-off opposing the planned parade, several senior Sinn Féin politicians are among those under scrutiny.\n\nThe protest ultimately led to the Northern Secretary Chris Bryant banning the Orange Order parade, despite its prior approval from the Parades Commission. Assistant Chief Constable Davy Beck revealed that a team of 30 officers, under the guidance of a senior investigating officer, has been reviewing 70 hours of footage to build cases against the suspects. Case files are set to be prepared and submitted to the Public Prosecution Service for further decisions. The investigation is expected to continue over the coming weeks, adhering to the established criminal justice strategy for this operation.",
