What you need to know about the riots in Britain
On the afternoon of August 4, protests and riots erupted in Great Britain against the background of the death of three girls after an attack by a minor during a dance workshop.
Netizens were enraged by the information that the suspect in the attack was a radical Muslim migrant.
However, it later turned out that it was a fake.
Police said the suspect, 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana, was born in Britain, but that did not stop the unrest.
Protests by anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim demonstrators flared up in many cities across the country.
Sometimes they even result in violence, arson and looting.
