UK Sees Counter-Protests After Far-Right Riots

News summary

Thousands of counter-protesters gathered across the UK in response to a week of violent far-right riots triggered by misinformation about the suspect in a stabbing attack. Far-right groups had falsely identified the suspect as a Muslim immigrant, leading to attacks on mosques, asylum-seeker hotels, and businesses owned by ethnic minorities. Despite police preparing for further violence, the counter-demonstrations were largely peaceful with chants like 'refugees welcome here' and 'hate not welcome.' Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the far-right violence, labeling it as 'thuggery' and vowing legal repercussions. Over 400 arrests have been made in connection to the riots, and several individuals have already been sentenced. The counter-protests were seen as a significant stand against the far-right, emphasizing the UK's history of defeating fascism and racism.
