A spate of violence has erupted across England after a tragic incident in Southport, where three children were stabbed to death during a Taylor Swift-inspired dance class event on July 29.
The suspect, 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana, has been charged with murder and attempted murder.
The unrest was sparked by false claims of his identity as a Muslim who arrived in the UK by boat, prompting right-wing groups to hold anti-immigration protests.
Rioting began in Southport, where mourners were still grieving. The fighting there left more than 50 policemen injured and targeted a nearby mosque.
The violence quickly spread to major cities including London, Manchester, and Liverpool, even reaching Belfast in Northern Ireland.
The mob attacked the hotel housing the refugees and caused significant property damage.
Thousands have taken part in riots and counter-protests, resulting in 378 arrests so far.
UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, stated that the authorities are working hard to identify and prosecute those responsible for the chaos.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the spread of misinformation online and warned that instigators of terrorism would face severe penalties.
In response to the emergency situation, the UK government took swift action. Emergency measures are being implemented to protect vulnerable communities, and international security alerts have been issued by several countries.
The situation in the UK remains tense as the country grapples with the aftermath of the tragic incident and the unrest that ensued.
