Thousands of protestors marched through central London on Saturday, demanding harsher immigration rules, in a highly policed march following the arrest of a far-right leader.

Former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson's supporters demanded his release and criticized the government for cracking down on anti-immigration riots over the summer.

A counter-protest organized by a coalition of hard-left organizations took place at the same time, raising fears of violence in central London.

A third protest by the family of a man killed by a police marksman, who was cleared of murder last week, exacerbated the situation.

Robinson was remanded in jail on Friday until a court hearing on Monday over claims that he violated a 2021 High Court ruling prohibiting him from making libelous allegations about a Syrian refugee who successfully sued him. The Metropolitan Police in London stated that it arrested two people during the rally for alleged public order violations.

Two other persons were detained for suspected assault near the counter-demonstration, the statement added.
