Daryush ‘Roosh’ Valizadeh is the leader of ‘Return of the Kings,’ an online community who are ‘pro-rape.’ He has a noticeable presence on Twitter with the user name @rooshv. The group have joint beliefs that “gender equality is a myth that has no scientific basis” and a “woman’s value significantly depends on her fertility and beauty.”

The group organised a meet-up in front of the main entrance of Naas Courthouse, Kildare, last Saturday at 8pm. The meet-ups around the world were planned to take place in 43 countries all together, all at 8pm local time. Due to security measures that were set up by authorities, Valizadeh cancelled all the events.
