Anti-monarchist activists arrested
Some 20 anti-monarchist activists were arrested this Saturday morning in London, when they were preparing to demonstrate against the coronation of Carlos III.
In addition, police confiscated hundreds of banners reading "Not my King," said a spokesman for the Republic group, whose supporters were gathered in central Trafalgar Square to boo the "King's Procession" as it passed.
"It's something we would expect to see in Moscow, not London," said Yasmine Ahmed, director of the NGO Human Rights Watch.
Furthermore, she called the situation "incredibly alarming."
"Peaceful protests allow those in power to be held to account, something the UK government seems to be increasingly reluctant to do," she added.
