Police reported 23 regional arrests (17 charged, 5 bailed, 1 referred to PPS), and protests also spread to Londonderry amid property damage and transport shutdowns.

"Confronting History: The English City's Journey of Healing"

Bristol, UK, is confronting its dark past by acknowledging its role in the transatlantic slave trade. The city has reevaluated its history and now offers tours that delve into the slave trade and walks dedicated to its multicultural communities. Bristol was heavily involved in the slave trade in the 17th century, with ships trafficking an estimated 486,000 enslaved Africans. Edward Colston, a prominent figure in Bristol's history, oversaw the enslavement of thousands of Africans. His statue was torn down during an anti-racism protest in 2020, leading to a reevaluation of Bristol's past and a desire to confront its troubled history.
