Scotland Yard made 64 arrests on the King’s coronation day, with 46 people bailed after being detained on suspicion of causing a public nuisance or breaching the peace. Mr Smith denies this was his intention and believes the Met had every intention of arresting them and used some unfeasible straps as a “pretext”.“They stopped us because the law was introduced, rushed in last week, to give them the powers to stop us on any flimsy pretext.
Labour frontbencher Andrew Gwynne said the Act gave “disproportionate” powers to the police but declined to commit the party to repealing it if it enters government. “That would’ve been the appropriate approach to drown out those that wanted to protest rather than maybe heavy-handed practice that some have suggested may have taken place,” he said.
Westminster City Council has raised concerns that women’s safety volunteers were among those arrested after rape alarms were seized.
