Numerous people took to the streets in Ireland after the 3-year prison sentence of 22-year-old soldier Cathal Crotty, who punched 24-year-old Natasha O’Brien 6 times on a street in Limerick, was postponed and he was released by the court on Thursday.
“Systematic gender-based violence is continually legitimized in the Irish justice system. The survivor of this attack deserves justice, which is why we are here today to advocate for it,” said Edith Busteed from feminist movement ROSA.
