London, There has been violence in Britain for the past several days. Immigrants are being targeted. Meanwhile, thousands of people took to the streets of England on Wednesday to protest against racism to show solidarity with immigrants and ethnic minorities.
At the same time, officials have warned that those involved in the riots will not be spared and will be severely punished. On the other hand, the Muslim Council of Britain has appealed to the country's Muslim community to stay safe and united in these times of 'hate and violence'. This violence spread in Britain is being called the biggest storm in the last 13 years.
Violence has erupted in Britain after clashes between anti-immigration protesters and counter-demonstrators following the killing of three girls in north-west England. There is unrest across the country, stone pelting and arson have become commonplace.
British police have also warned that more violence is likely in the future. Speaking to the media, PM Starmer said there would be arrests, charges and convictions “regardless of the motivations behind them”. The prime minister warned those who took part in the protests, saying, “Those of you who took part in this will regret it.” PM Storm also convened a high-level meeting on Saturday amid rising violence across the country.
During this time, he extended full support to his police and instructed them to do whatever was necessary to control the violence. So far, the police have arrested hundreds of people. Several videos linked to the violence are going viral on social media. It is being said that the protesters were angered when rumors spread on social media that the accused involved in Monday's stabbing incident had links to Islam.
However, officials said the 17-year-old suspected knife-wielder, who was arrested on charges of murder, had no ties to Islam. But despite this, anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim protesters are not stopping and are continuing to protest.
Arson and looting are also taking place during the violent protests. Rudacubana is charged with murder for the deaths of 9-year-old Alice DeSilva Aguirre, 7-year-old Elsie Dot Stancomb and 6-year-old Babe King.
Apart from this, 10 cases of attempted murder have also been registered against him. Liverpool Police said on Saturday that several officers were injured while responding to a “serious disturbance” in the city centre.SS1MS
