Human rights groups and politicians in Britain are criticizing the law enforcement response to King Charles III’s coronation, following the Metropolitan Police’s arrests of dozens of demonstrators during Saturday’s pageantry.
came as the Met, as the police force for greater London is known, warned of its “significant police operation” for the day. Three people were arrested near Buckingham Palace and “held on suspicion of possessing articles to cause criminal damage,” officials said., a controversial bill that became law days before the coronation and gave authorities new powers to restrict protests. The Met did not respond to a request for comment on Sunday.
Hundreds of people had gathered at Trafalgar Square — within view of the king’s procession to and from Westminster Abbey — to call for the monarchy to be abolished and replaced by an elected head of state. The protesters stood for hours amid rain, holding placards that poked fun at the royal family and criticized the expense of a coronation amid a cost-of-living crisis. Many chanted slogans such as “Not My King” or “Down With the Crown.
The Met declined to confirm Smith’s arrest, but it said in its statement that six people were arrested near Trafalgar Square “on suspicion of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance.” In making Saturday’s arrests, Findlay said officers had acted on “information that individuals would attempt to deface public monuments with paint, breach barriers and disrupt the official movements.”
