Anti-monarchy group Republic accuses Metropolitan Police of citing human rights laws to block Trooping the Colour protest.

Anti-monarchy group Republic accuses the Metropolitan Police of using human rights laws to block their Trooping the Colour protest. Police allegedly cited the European Convention on Human Rights as justification for closing down the nearby protest, claiming it would deny spectators the right to enjoy the parade. Republic states that no final decision has been made, but accuses the police of insisting the protest is moved to a place out of sight of the parade and media. The King will make a high-profile appearance on Saturday to mark the monarch's official birthday during Trooping the Colour in central London.
