The local people, who are mobilizing through social networks, will protest in front of some thirty legal centers specialized in providing support to “asylum seekers”, according to British media.
The Financial Times revealed that there are also plans to attack pro-immigrant law firms.
The Prime Minister held last night a second emergency meeting with ministers and police chiefs and pledged to do everything necessary to put an end to “the violence”.
On the other hand, a 58-year-old man has been sentenced Wednesday to three years in prison for participating in the riots of July 30 in Southport, in the northwest of England. He has thus become the first person to be prosecuted for violence during these protests in the United Kingdom.
The Liverpool court also imposed jail sentences against two others involved in the riots. One is 29-year-old man, who has been jailed for 30 months for violent disorder and setting fire to a police van in Liverpool, and for malicious communication. The other is a man, aged 40, sentenced to 20 months in jail for taking part in the riot.
Another person was arrested by the police for writing an “offensive” post on Facebook on “suspicion of improper use of an electronic communications network under Section 127 of the Communications Act.”
The protests began after the July 29 stabbing murders of three girls at a summer recreation center in Southport, where eight other minors and two adults were injured.
The accused of the attack, 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana, born in Wales to Rwandan parents, but citizens of Southport, reacted after information circulated on social media that the boy was a Muslim of African origin, born to Rwandan parents in Cardiff in 2006.
