London (Team Newsbuddy): So far 150 people have been arrested in violent protests after the murder of three little girls at a dance party themed by famous singer Taylor Swift in Merseyside, UK.
In view of the seriousness of the situation, an emergency meeting has been called at 10 Downing Street, the official residence of the Prime Minister, on Monday.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer had expressed concern over the attack on the Rotherham hotel. The decision to hold an emergency meeting has been taken only after this.
People seeking political asylum are kept in this hotel.
He said that all those who are spreading unrest will have to face the strictness of the law.
Meanwhile, the police have taken action against violent demonstrations in several areas including Tamworth, Middlesbrough, Bolton, Hull and Weymouth.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the violent demonstrations and said, “People in this country have the right to be safe. Despite this, we saw that Muslim communities were targeted. Mosques were attacked.”
He said, “Other minority groups were targeted. Nazi salutes were given on the streets. Police were attacked. Violence was carried out with racial slogans. That’s why I have no hesitation in calling it ruthless violence of the far right.”
