Investigation Underway Following Violence at Glasgow Green Protests
An ongoing investigation is looking into the incidents of violence and antisocial behaviour that occurred at Glasgow Green over the summer. Police have released images of six individuals they wish to speak to in connection with the clashes between far-right protesters and anti-racist demonstrators.
The demonstration, organised by the Unite the Clans group, took place on July 25. A counter-protest was held by Stand Up To Racism (SUTR) and Women Against The Far Right in close proximity to the Green, outside the High Court. During the event, altercations broke out between the two opposing groups, with far-right protesters reportedly throwing objects towards anti-racist activists assembled on Greendyke Street.
Police intervened swiftly, separating the two groups as tensions escalated. Mounted officers were deployed within the park to maintain order. Following the disturbances, police confirmed that 22 arrests have been made relating to various offences connected to the disorder.
The police have urged anyone who may recognise the individuals in the released images to come forward. Additionally, individuals with any information related to the events can contact police by calling 101 and quoting Operation Cornstarch, or they can reach out to Crimestoppers anonymously at 0800 555 111.
On September 12, another incident occurred during an anti-immigration rally at Glasgow Green organised by a right-wing group known as Pink Ladies. A 23-year-old man was arrested and charged concerning an outstanding warrant related to the July 25 disturbances.
In light of these events, Police Scotland has established a Major Incident Public Portal (MIPP) to enable the public to share information directly with officers regarding the incidents from July 25. They have also requested that any footage or photographs documenting criminal behaviour related to the protests be submitted via their online form.
