A protest in support of Northern Ireland's self-styled 'Paedophile Hunters' will go ahead despite arrests made last night.

Two men and a 24-year-old woman were arrested in Ballymena and Newtownabbey.

All three are facing three counts of false imprisonment, three counts of intimidation, two counts of attempted intimidation, criminal damage and common assault.

People will gather outside Belfast's City Hall this lunchtime - to send a message to the Media, the PSNI and the Government.

Organisers have assured the march will be peaceful , following criticism of methods used by the groups online - who try to catch those they believe are sexual predators.

It was organised following court appearances of a number of self-styled 'paedophile hunters', but is not listed on the Parades Commission website.
