"Not My King" King Charles III Called Out For Locking Up Protesters by DyshApp: 4:56pm On May 11, 2023
As the coronation of King Charles III and Camilla took place last Saturday, many public figures, celebrities, and royal families were in attendance to celebrate the ceremony of Charles becoming King and Camilla becoming Queen Consort.

However, some of the British public were not in the mood to celebrate and instead were opposed to the monarchy still being kept alive in the 21st century.
As the royal procession passed on its way to Westminster Abbey, anti-monarchy protesters made sure that the three-word chant "Not my King" was heard at full volume for everyone to hear.

The bronze statue of Charles I on horseback on the corner of Trafalgar Square was surrounded by armed police, but that didn't stop protesters from choosing that spot to make their voices heard.

Scotland Yard said officers made 52 arrests on Saturday for offences including affray, public order offences, breach of the peace and conspiracy to cause a public nuisance. A police statement said that "Lock-on" devices were confiscated during the arrest of Republic supporters, but the group denied having any of those devices. It claimed one protester was arrested for possession of a string that was part of a placard.

Was King Charles wrong in putting these protesters behind bar ?

Yes it's shocking that an advanced country like theirs still practices monarchy, normally they don't know arrest protesters but what the police said was their reason for arresting them was even more shocking
