Belfast Rioter Steven Baker in Custody

About this episode

Steven Baker, an immigration critic, is in custody after being charged with rioting in Belfast.

Steven Baker, a vocal immigration critic, is now in custody after being charged with rioting in north Belfast following a stabbing. Captured on drone footage wearing a political hoodie and bucket hat, Baker was seen near the chaos but not directly involved in violence. Despite police offering bail with conditions, he refused — a decision his lawyer now regrets. The judge rejected bail, calling Baker a threat to public safety and community stability, citing risks of further offenses and non-compliance. Baker, calling himself a “citizen journalist,” denies any wrongdoing. His case will resume July 9th amid heightened tensions and strong public reactions.
