News summary

Immigration lawyers in the UK are facing increased threats and intimidation after a list of their offices was circulated on social media by far-right groups, coinciding with violent protests fueled by anti-immigration sentiments. The list, shared on Telegram, has led to fears for safety among lawyers, with some feeling the need to board up their offices and work from home. Incidents of vandalism and violence against mosques, businesses, and accommodations for migrants have escalated, following false rumors linking a stabbing incident in Southport to an asylum seeker. The Law Society has voiced concerns over the specific threats faced by immigration solicitors, calling for police support to ensure their safety. Authorities, including Lancashire Police, are monitoring the situation closely and have pledged to investigate any offenses linked to the protests. Meanwhile, government officials have criticized social media companies for not adequately addressing the spread of inflammatory material.
