Mary Burke, who organised the fundraiser on Go Fund Me, stated: "Fines were handed out continually for the duration of the rally which was very well socially distanced.

"This fund is to help those with fines, pay them."

The PSNI Chief Constable Alan Todd confirmed on Saturday that a number of fines and community resolution notices were issued at the Black Lives Matter rally in Derry.
