Jamie Bryson claimed he had received threats to kill him as tensions escalated over the controversial Orange Order parade along Garvaghy Road in Portadown.
Speaking outside the High Court in Belfast, Bryson urged unionists and loyalists not to take to the streets or become involved in disorder, insisting the dispute should be fought through the courts. DUP MP Carla Lockhart also criticised the scenes outside the court and called for calm as the legal battle continued.
The comments came after the High Court temporarily blocked the Parades Commission decision allowing 35 members of the Orange Order to walk along Garvaghy Road, a predominantly nationalist area, for the first time in almost 30 years.
At the time of these remarks, the Orange Order was preparing an immediate appeal. Later on Saturday night, the Court of Appeal overturned the injunction, clearing the restricted parade to proceed on Sunday morning.
The dispute has revived memories of the long-running Drumcree standoff, one of the most contentious parading disputes in Northern Ireland, with political leaders and community representatives urging calm as the legal proceedings unfolded.

I have had very personal issues with these particular gun nuts and just hope the hole they keep digging is big enough for them all.
Gather Fenians, gather round
Hand to hand with sword and musket
Spill the blood upon this holy ground
Then you are welcome, Highland Paddy
By my side you'll surely stand
Hear the people shout for freedom
We'll rise in the morning
With the Fenian band
Rise in the morning with the Fenian band
