Why police arrested protesters during King Charles’s Coronation – BBC News – BBC News

The head of London’s Metropolitan Police has defended the policing of the King Charles’s Coronation after six anti-monarchy protesters were arrested, detained for hours and then released without charge.

A group were arrested under a controversial new law, the Public Order Act 2023.

They were held for almost 16 hours, later bailed and told on Monday that no further action would be taken against them.

Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said it was unfortunate those arrested could not protest, but he supported the officers’ actions.

 

The BBC’s Analysis Editor Ros Atkins examines the circumstances around the arrests.
