British police officers were injured in clashes between far-right activists and anti-racism protesters in various cities following a stabbing attack that left three girls dead. The police have implemented a significant security operation, deploying more officers onto the streets and using surveillance technologies. Several officers were injured in Liverpool and Hull, with arrests made in Bristol and other cities.
The violence erupted after false rumors circulated online about the ethnicity and religion of the 17-year-old suspect in the stabbing attack. Far-right groups have been organizing violent demonstrations in response to the incident, resulting in clashes with police and damage to property. The violence has been condemned by government officials, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer vowing to support police in taking action against extremists.
The stabbing attack at a dance class shocked the country, where knife crime is a long-standing issue. The suspect has been charged with murder and attempted murder for the incident. The violence has been attributed to far-right hatred, prompting calls for an end to the mayhem and better intelligence-sharing among law enforcement agencies.
Protests have also been held in support of Palestine, with thousands marching peacefully in London to protest Israel’s military operation in Gaza. The outbreak of violence in various cities has highlighted ongoing social tensions and the need for increased security measures to prevent further unrest.
