‘It’s important that we come together and stand for Nikita’

Several hundred people have marched in Dublin in support of the woman who won a civil rape case against Conor McGregor.

On Friday, a jury at the High Court in Dublin found the mixed martial arts fighter had assaulted Nikita Hand by raping her in a hotel in Dublin in December 2018.

McGregor was ordered to pay Ms Hand almost €250,000 (£206,000) in damages.

The protest was organised by ROSA, a socialist feminist movement, as part of International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
