MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Eight people accused of disorderly conduct during the "Unite the Kingdom" right-wing protest in London have been charged, with police seeking help to identify 11 other suspects, London’s Metropolitan Police said on Monday.
Earlier in the day, London police told RIA Novosti that the force continued to search for offenders after Saturday's right-wing rally and that new arrests were expected. A total of 24 people were detained during the demonstration.
"Throughout the day, there were several incidents across central London, the majority linked to the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ protest in and around Whitehall. Officers made 24 arrests on the day and have since carried out enquiries into other offences… Eight people were charged, one person received a caution, 11 people were bailed under investigation to return at a later date," the force said.

Right-wing activists gathered in London's Russell Square on Saturday morning, from where they marched to Whitehall, the seat of government. Many people carried national flags of England with the cross of St. George and the Union Jack. They shouted slogans critical of Prime Minister Keir Starmer and condemned the government's migration policy and restrictions on freedom of speech.
