UK: Protest erupts over student murder

Hundreds of protesters, including far-right activist Tommy Robinson and backed by Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, clashed with police in Southampton, UK, after Vickrum Digwa was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 21 years for the December 2025 murder of 18-year-old finance student Henry Nowak. The unrest stemmed from anger over Nowak being handcuffed by officers who initially disbelieved his stabbing claims, with critics alleging anti-white policing; UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood condemned the protests as unacceptable, and the National Police Chiefs' Council announced a review of its Race Action Plan amid concerns over officer response.
