British children in prisons

A 13-year-old girl is due to appear at Basingstoke magistrates court on Tuesday to face a charge of violent disorder over a protest in Aldershot, Hampshire Police said.

The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is from Aldershot. It comes after reports of disorder outside Potters International Hotel on 31 July. A 40-year-old man, Steven Tiquin, will also appear at the court charged with assaulting police officers.

In Northern Ireland, an 11-year-old boy has been charged with rioting and throwing petrol bombs and will appear at Belfast youth court on 6 September.

The milestone of 1,000 arrests in relation to the recent disorder is expected to be reached imminently. So far, 975 people have been arrested and 546 charged, the National Police Chiefs’ Council said on Monday.
