COMMENT | A 17-year-old individual has been charged with the murder of three girls and the attempted murder of 10 others in a dance class stabbing in Southport, England, as of yesterday.

This tragic event, which took place on Monday, represents one of the most egregious mass stabbing incidents involving children in the United Kingdom in recent years.

On Tuesday, violent confrontations in response to the stabbing erupted between far-right demonstrators and law enforcement in Southport, with the police identifying these individuals as affiliates of the far-right English Defence League.

French security services recently apprehended an 18-year-old far-right extremist believed to be planning attacks during the upcoming Paris Olympics, as reported by France24.

The individual, who served as the administrator of a Telegram group known as the French Aryan division, is currently under interrogation by anti-terror authorities following his arrest in the northeast region of France.
