Thousands of people gathered in Belfast on Saturday for an anti-racism demonstration following days of violence that saw homes, businesses and vehicles targeted across the city.
The unrest was triggered after footage of a knife attack in north Belfast on Monday night circulated widely on social media.
The “Together Against Hate” rally began at Belfast City Hall at around 1pm, drawing participants from a range of political parties, trade unions and community groups.
Police closed several roads in the city centre to accommodate the large crowd and maintain public safety.
Protesters carried banners bearing messages such as “Strike back against racism”, “Refugees welcome” and “Riots don’t speak for Belfast”.
The demonstration was organised by the anti-racism campaign group United Against Racism.
