Police Admit ‘Regret’ Over Mass Arrests Of Protesters At King Charles III's Coronation

  • London police arrested six anti-monarchy protesters and 58 others on coronation day and have now dropped all charges.
  • The arrests were made under a new controversial law giving police broad powers against peaceful protest, which the mayor has criticized.
  • Civil rights groups argue the law enables abuse and threatens democratic rights.
  • Protesters argue coronation was undemocratic and call for an election instead.
  • Police say they regret the arrests but initially claimed protesters had ‘lock-on’ devices to justify them, despite lacking evidence.
