LONDON (Reuters) – British police arrested Graham Smith, leader of an anti-monarchist group Republic, ahead of King Charles’ coronation on Saturday, a spokesperson for the group said.
Police did not confirm the arrest, saying they did not immediately name those arrested.
A photo posted on Twitter showed Smith sitting on the ground surrounded by a group of police officers. An officer at the scene said three republican protesters had been arrested.
