Arrests during London protest over policing bill and violence against women

Guardian News published this video item, entitled “Arrests during London protest over policing bill and violence against women” – below is their description.

Police in central London made arrests on Monday night as thousands of people gathered to oppose the passage of a new policing bill and to highlight violence against women. The police, crime, sentencing and courts bill has been criticised by civil society groups as an attack on some of the most fundamental rights of citizens. Protests around the bill have become entwined with those in response to the death of Sarah Everard, who disappeared from a street in south London at the beginning of March
