Scuffles, arrests in UK soldier death protests

None

Far-right groups and antifascists held rival demonstrations Saturday to mark the killing of British soldier Lee Rigby more than a week ago. The events saw modest turnout, little violence and dozens of arrests.

 

Police kept about 150 British National Party supporters carrying anti-Islam placards apart from a larger group of anti-racist demonstrators outside Parliament in London after the two sides traded insults and occasional blows. (Reuters)
