Thousands of police have been deployed to avert possible attacks on immigration solicitors and refugee centres.
Liverpool, United Kingdom – The United Kingdom is bracing for another day of unrest with more far-right race riots reportedly planned in several cities.
Activists monitoring far-right communications fear that on Wednesday, racist mobs could target at least 30 locations. They say solicitors and advice groups which support migrants across the country – as well as immigration centres – could be attacked.
Police are preparing for more violence after several days of unrest which has already seen more than 400 people arrested.
Counter-protesters are organising in an attempt to outnumber the agitators, a tactic that has worked in a small number of cities and towns.
Stand Up to Racism, one of the main organisers, called on Britons to “mobilise to defend immigration lawyers, refugee charities and asylum support centres”.
