London protesters arrested at demonstration over policing powers and vigil of Sarah Everard

Protests continued Monday in the United Kingdom over gender-based violence and policing in the wake of the suspected Sarah Everard killing.

Many gathered to oppose the passage of a new policing bill just days after officers were criticized for using excessive force at a vigil for Everard, where critics say images showed police aggressively "manhandling" and handcuffing mourners. Opponents said the bill would impose stiff sentences for rule-breakers and give police too much power to restrict non-violent protests, according to the Guardian.
