Demonstrators take part in a United Against Racism rally in Belfast, August 10, 2024
ABOUT 15,000 people took part in an anti-racism rally in Belfast on Saturday following a week of rioting and disorder in the city.
The protest started at Writer’s Square, where a huge crowd assembled, many holding placards with anti-racism and pro-migrant messages.
Organised by the United Against Racism group, the protesters made their way to City Hall, chanting: “When migrants’ rights are under attack, what do we do? Stand up, fight back.”
