UK Protests: Nearly 400 Arrested Amid Week-Long Riots

Over 370 individuals have been arrested following a week of violent protests across the UK. The unrest has led to significant clashes in cities such as South Belfast and Plymouth, with multiple police officers injured. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced a deployment of specialist officers to curb the violence that followed the tragic killing of three young girls in Southport.
The UK has been engulfed in violent protests resulting in the arrest of over 370 individuals, according to the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC).

The unrest has seen significant incidents, including attacks on police in South Belfast near a supermarket and serious violence in Plymouth where multiple officers sustained injuries.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced the deployment of a 'standing army' of specialist officers to address the chaos.

The turbulence follows a tragic incident in Southport where three young girls were killed, stirring false accusations against asylum seekers and sparking widespread violence in cities like Middlesbrough, Liverpool, and Belfast.

The police are operating around the clock to restore order, though disturbances such as the setting of vehicles and buildings on fire, throwing of stones and petrol bombs at officers, and attacks on businesses have stretched resources.

Local MPs and police authorities stress the importance of ending the violence and maintaining public order.
