The two, a 44-year-old man and a 21-year-old, are being sentenced, according to Sky News, after taking part in the protests that erupted in early June in the wake of the stabbing of 18-year-old Henry Nowak in Southampton in December. Despite being seriously injured, Nowak was handcuffed by police as he bled to death.

Similar to the violent protests in Belfast - which on Tuesday led to cars and houses being burned down - Nowak's family appealed for the act not to be used to incite violence.

On Wednesday, the family of the man who was attacked in Belfast on Monday said, "We want to make it absolutely clear that the unrest is not welcomed by us."

One man has been arrested so far following the protests in Belfast.
