Anti-monarchy protesters arrested

The anti-monarchy movement reported that a number of its members were taken into custody by the Metropolitan Police force in central London, prior to King Charles III's coronation on Saturday. The incident has brought attention to the police's handling of demonstrators during the historic event.

While thousands of people gathered in central London to mark the momentous occasion, a group of protesters donning yellow T-shirts expressed their dissent by jeering and chanting "Not My King" throughout the morning.

Republic, the largest anti-monarchy organization in Britain, stated that the protest organizers were arrested by the police, but no explanation was given for their detainment.
