Effigy burned as protesters march in aid of sex abuse victims

Protesters came face to face with police in Wellington this evening, during a march in aid of rape and sex abuse victims.

Around 200 mostly women marched through the city enroute to the High Court.

They're a backlash from the not guilty verdicts given to Clint Rickards and two former officers, and also mark International Women's Day.

RadioLIVE's Heather du Plessis-Allan was in Wellington, and reported tension when the group reached the city's main police station.

The protest march ended with an effigy of a police officer being set alight outside the front doors of the High Court.
