Lawyers across the UK are expressing serious safety concerns as far-right groups plan a series of protests targeting immigration advice centres, solicitors' offices, and charities.

In response to the escalating situation, the Metropolitan Police have declared a national critical incident and are mobilizing all available resources to prevent further disorder.

This unrest was ignited by false claims regarding the background of a murder suspect, which subsequently led to widespread riots and violence in various cities.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer convened an emergency meeting to address the violent disorder, which has already resulted in over 400 arrests.

The far-right group involved has been linked to inciting violence against ethnic minorities and government officials, with one inflammatory post reaching over 125,000 views in just two hours.

Police are actively monitoring at least 30 potential gatherings, with several protests anticipated in the coming days.

Anti-fascist group Hope Not Hate has condemned the circulation of a target list, describing it as a 'hit list' and urging those named to remain vigilant.

The Law Society has raised alarms about the safety of immigration lawyers, urging government officials to take the threats seriously amidst the ongoing violence.

Reports indicate that a list of 60 immigration centres has been circulated on social media, suggesting they are potential targets for protests.

During the riots, anti-immigration protestors clashed violently with police, resulting in injuries to officers and significant property damage.

The rise in hostility towards immigration lawyers has been linked to political rhetoric from prominent figures, further exacerbating the situation.

The far-right group involved has connections to international extremists, with reports of shared materials including an arson manual from a neo-Nazi organization.
