‘Shameful, shameful scenes’: Women arrested in Clapham Common as protesters clash with police

"These women were only here to remember the victims of male violence but were subjected to it themselves."

Several women were arrested and bundled to the ground as protesters clashed with the police during Clapham Common protests this evening.

Independent legal observer Zehrah Hasan, of Black Protest Legal Support, said at least five people mostly women were arrested.

She told the Evening Standard: “The level of police violence today was immense.

“These women were only here to remember the victims of male violence but were subjected to it themselves.

“The police relied on Covid regulations to disperse a peaceful vigil. We’re concerned about the police’s failure to consider our fundamental human right to protest.”

By 8.30pm, most of the area around the bandstand had been cleared and police, who brought in police dogs at one stage, left the park.

Footage from the protests has been circulating on social media.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
