Protests erupt in UK over police handling of teenager's death

Protests have erupted in Southampton, UK, following public outrage over the police's handling of the death of 18-year-old Henry Nowak, who was handcuffed by officers while dying.

Protests have erupted in Southampton, UK, following public outrage over the police's handling of the death of 18-year-old Henry Nowak. Nowak was fatally wounded, but his attacker reportedly told police that Nowak had initiated a racist assault. Consequently, officers handcuffed Nowak while he was dying from his injuries. He subsequently died. The incident has sparked criticism regarding police conduct, with some conservative figures alleging disparities in how police treat citizens. The Prime Minister, however, reportedly accused critics of attempting to politicize the situation. Sources: Громадське, Суспільне Новини
