Authorities in the United Kingdom have begun the trial of participants in the UK riots and some of them have been convicted, the BBC is reporting.
The riot, which broke out last week after the fatal stabbing of three young girls at a dance class in the seaside town of Southport, in the north of England, has been followed by the worst unrest the UK has seen in over a decade.
The violence in towns and cities across England and in Northern Ireland has been fuelled by misinformation online, the far-right and anti-immigration sentiment.
Communities have responded with a series of rallies against the riots, with thousands gathering on Wednesday 7 August.
As of 4:00 pm on Monday, at least 15 suspected rioters had appeared in court for trial, including a young boy and the wife of a Conservative Party councillor. At least five of the suspects have been sentenced.
