Police had been accused of ‘alarming’ attack on right to protest after arresting organisers of approved demonstration
Only five of the 64 people arrested at King Charles’s coronation have been charged with an offence, the Metropolitan police have said.
At the coronation in May, the Met arrested 52 people for protest-related offences and a further 12 for offences not related to protest. On Wednesday, Scotland Yard said it had referred the cases of 21 people to the Crown Prosecution Service, 20 of whom were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance.
