A statement released on the website of the National Police Chiefs' Committee of the United Kingdom on August 7 local time stated that since protests against the government's immigration policy broke out in many parts of the United Kingdom and large-scale riots broke out in some areas, about 120 people have been charged and 428 people have been detained. The British government and police said on the same day that they would prevent new riots from occurring.
Earlier, there were reports that new riots were likely to occur in several cities in the UK on the 7th. The British government has specially deployed 6,000 special police officers to prepare for emergencies. On the 7th, some people held rallies in London and other places to protest against the recent riots.
Protests and clashes over the government's immigration policy have occurred in many parts of the UK in recent days. The protests have spread to many major cities in the UK, including London, Manchester, and Liverpool, and have turned into violent riots in some areas. This is also the largest violent riot in the UK in 13 years.
In response to the recent riots in many parts of the UK, the British government held emergency meetings on the 5th and 6th. British Prime Minister Starmer said on the 6th that those who participated in the recent large-scale riots will face "full legal sanctions", and those suspects who have been charged or detained will be quickly tried in court within a week. He reiterated that the government will ensure community safety and have sufficient police force to deal with various possible chaos.
