Protest Planned Against King Charles III's Controversial Coronation Law.
Anti-monarchists are expected to protest King Charles III's coronation in London on Saturday, despite warnings from authorities and a controversial new law. The Public Order Bill, which came into effect on Wednesday, imposes new criminal offenses to prevent disruption, including 12 months behind bars for protesters who interfere with "key national infrastructure." The anti-monarchy protest movement has gained fresh momentum in Britain since Queen Elizabeth II's death and Charles' ascension, with Republic, a London-based campaign group advocating to replace the British monarchy with an elected head of state, planning to protest in Trafalgar Square and along the procession route on Saturday as planned.
