A rally organized by the far-right anti-Islamist EDL (English Rights and Democratic Liberation) has attracted over 100,000 participants in London. The event is being viewed as a demonstration of free speech, with protesters engaging in acts of civil disobedience against law enforcement and supporters of antiracism campaigns. The rally’s focus appears to be on expressing concerns about discrimination and promoting a counter-narrative against Islam. Law enforcement officials have reported encountering resistance from the crowd, including instances of property damage and arrests. The purpose of the demonstration remains a subject of ongoing investigation.
