London police said on Sunday that more than 100 people were arrested after protests were staged against the British government`s new Crime Bill in central London on Saturday. 
 
Earlier on Sunday, London police said that 10 officers were left with minor injuries after police and protesters clashed in central London on Saturday, the Xinhua news agency reported. 
 
The British capital was swarmed by thousands of demonstrators as a number of protests took place simultaneously. 
 
Many were protesting the British government`s proposed Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill. 
 
If passed, the legislation would give police in England and Wales more powers to impose conditions on non-violent protests, including those deemed too noisy or a nuisance, with those convicted liable to fines or jail terms. 
 
"Kill the Bill" demonstrators were joined by Extinction Rebellion and anti-lockdown protesters. The anti-lockdown rebels were supported by Piers Corbyn, brother of former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, a London-based newspaper reported on Sunday. 
 
Thousands turned up for the "Kill the Bill" protest alone, marching from Hyde Park to Westminster. The protesters walked past Buckingham Palace and down to Parliament Square, opposite the Houses of Parliament. 
 
The latest demonstrations came after several protests against the British government`s new Crime Bill turned violent last month in Bristol, a populous city in southwestern England. 
 
Covid-19 regulations have since been relaxed and protests are now lawful in England and Wales. However, protest organisers must submit a risk assessment and take steps to limit the potential transmission of coronavirus, according to a newspaper. 
 
The coronavirus reproduction number, or R value, in England is between 0.8 and one, according to the latest government figures. 
 
This is compared to a figure of between 0.7 and 0.9 for the whole of Britain last week. 
 
The latest government figures showed that more than 31.5 million people have received their first dose of Covid-19 vaccine in Britain. 
 
From April 12, non-essential retail, as well as restaurants and pubs, if serving people outdoors, will be allowed to reopen in England. 
 
On February 22, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced his roadmap exiting the lockdown, the third of its kind since the start of the pandemic. The four-step plan is expected to see all legal restrictions in England being removed by mid-June. 
 
Experts have warned Britain is "still not out of the woods" amid concerns over new variants and the third wave of pandemic in the European continent. 
 
To bring life back to normal, countries such as Britain, China, Russia, the United States as well as the European Union have been racing against time to roll out coronavirus vaccines.

Over 100 nabbed, 10 officers injured in London's 'Kill the Bill' protests

Hundreds of demonstrators joined marches and rallies across Britain as part of a ‘national weekend of action’ against a proposed new law that would give police extra powers to curb protests.

Kill The Bill Protest in UK: Police clash with protesters at a rally

Hundreds of demonstrators joined marches and rallies across Britain on Saturday as part of a ‘national weekend of action’ against a proposed new law that would give police extra powers to curb protests.

The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts bill would toughen measures officers can take to disperse demonstrations, such as imposing time and noise limits, which campaigners and activists fear would be used to curb dissent.

Since the bill was brought before parliament last month, there have been sporadic protests, notably in Bristol, southwest England, where demonstrations turned violent with officers and a police station bombarded with bricks and glass bottles and police vehicles set on fire.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson criticised what he described as ‘disgraceful attacks’ on officers, but protesters have accused police of using heavy-handed tactics.

On Saturday, climate change group Extinction Rebellion (XR) and the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement joined other activists for ‘kill the bill’ rallies in London and other towns and cities, including Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds and Brighton.

"The government are trying to curtail protests - especially BLM and XR - that is what this bill is all about. We want the clauses in this bill about protests quashed," said Mark Duncan, one of a crowd of more than 500 marching through central London, banging drums and chanting.

Days of protests by Extinction Rebellion paralysed parts of London in early 2019, action which fuelled calls from some politicians for the police to be given the tougher powers to prevent excessive disruption.

Demonstrations had not been permitted while a coronavirus lockdown was in place, but restrictions were eased this week, meaning organised rallies can go ahead providing they are ‘COVID secure’.

In London, police warned, ‘enforcement action will be taken, if needed, in the interests of public health’. 
Some senior officers have said the ‘kill the bill’ tag was deliberately provocative as ‘the bill’ is a nickname in Britain for the police.

During the third<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/what-are-the-kill-the-bill-protests-in-britain-all-about-372605"> "kill the bill" </a>demonstrations in Bristol, the police officers claim to have been attacked with bricks, eggs, glass bottles and had lasers shone in their faces. Fireworks were also launched at Somerset and Avon police division.

After these revelations, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has called these attacks on police to be "disgraceful" through a Twitter statement.

"Last night saw disgraceful attacks against police officers in Bristol," he tweeted. "Our officers should not have to face having bricks, bottles and fireworks being thrown at them by a mob intent on violence and causing damage to property."

Thousands of people took part in the demonstration in which they rallied in the city centre. However, the rally turned violent after 10 pm when local police armed with helmets and shield started dispersing the crowd.

The police officers have claimed that the horses and dogs being used for services were also pelted with glass and stone, but reportedly returned safely to their bases.

As of now, ten arrests have been made, of which three had been detained earlier too in connection with last Sunday's violent clash.

The UK Prime Minister has also assured his support to the authorities. "The police and the city have my full support," he tweeted.

However, the authorities have reported that the violence was a result of the actions of a small group of demonstrators only.&nbsp;

"The majority of people acted peacefully however there was a minority who showed hostility to officers," said Superintendent Mark Runacres.

All through the protest, demonstrators could be heard chanting "Justice for Sarah" and "Who do you protect?" aid music and dance, despite heavy rain in the city.

These demonstrators are protesting against the new sweeping bill that would give the police more power to deal with all sorts of nonviolent demonstrations.

During the third "kill the bill" demonstrations in Bristol, the police officers claim to have been attacked with bricks, eggs, glass bottles and had lasers shone in their faces.
