Eight Arrests Made During Anti-Immigration and Counter Protest in Brighton
Sussex Police said the arrests followed clashes between a 300-person anti-immigration rally and a 4,000-strong counter-protest.
- On Saturday, approximately 300 'Stop The Boats' protesters faced around 4,000 counter-protesters from 'Carnival Against Fascism' in Brighton City Centre, prompting a significant police response.
- South East Patriots organized the anti-immigration march, with Raise the Colours co-founder Ryan Bridge attending to show support before his arrest during the confrontations.
- Sussex Police made eight arrests during the clashes, ranging from assaulting emergency workers to public order offenses and possession of pyrotechnic articles.
- Chief Supt Adam Hays said, "Public order policing is complex, and while we understand this can be frustrating, we balance the rights of all protest groups and the wider community."
- Bella Sankey, leader of Brighton & Hove City Council, stated, "We utterly reject the hatred and division of the far-right." Her condemnation reflects official opposition to the march.
