Animal rights campaigners are suing the Metropolitan Police over claims of wrongful arrests made ahead of King Charles III’s coronation. According to The Independent, the group says officers arrested them on suspicion of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance. The campaigners allege that they were subjected to full-body searches during detention and that they were held for up to 14 hours after being arrested. The court action, as described in the available reporting, challenges the legality and handling of the arrests and subsequent treatment while in custody. The sources provided do not include the Metropolitan Police’s response or the specific legal remedies sought, but they set out the core allegations from the claimants: that the arrests were wrongful and that the searches and length of detention were improper. Yahoo UK News reports the same matter but does not add further details in the text supplied here. The case is presented as part of a wider accountability push by the campaigners regarding police powers and procedures during a high-profile public event period.
