Dispersal order in Leicester after city centre protests

The protests were two of several demonstrations in towns and cities across the UK which were organised by the far-right and other rival groups.

Tensions have been high after three young girls were killed in Southport, Merseyside, on Monday.

Leicestershire Police issued a statement ahead of Saturday’s protests dismissing “false information circulating on social media” about events planned to take place in the city.

Ch Supt Shane O’Neill said it was a “matter of great importance” to “maintain peace” in the city.

He added: “I want to express my sincere thanks to our partners and community leaders who were integral in reassuring and informing communities about our policing activity and also assisting us in tackling disinformation on social media and Whatsapp.

“This recent activity is a clear lesson in how important it is to counter any misinformation posted online or on social media.”
