"Police were heavily deployed in Southampton on Tuesday in response to an anti-immigration rally following the death of 18-year-old Henry Nowak. Footage shows protesters gathered outside the Highfield House Hotel with banners and national flags, chanting slogans such as 'Send them home' and 'Deportation'. The rally later moved downtown where police attempted to block the street, prompting protesters to return to the hotel. A counter-demonstration by the Southampton Stand Up Against Racism group also took place, with police separating the two rallies before the counter-protesters dispersed. The Henry Nowak case stunned the UK and the world after shocking police bodycam footage emerged of him telling cops, "I can't breathe" and "I've been stabbed" - and cops replying, "I don't think you have mate" - before handcuffing him following false claims of racism made by his murderer. The incident took place in Southampton last December. 23-year-old Sikh Vickrum Digwa was sentenced to life with a minimum of 21 years this week for murder. He carried out the attack with a 21cm blade he said he carried as part of his Sikh faith. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Police and Crime Commissioner Donna Jones called for an 'urgent review on the carrying of bladed articles for religious and ceremonial purposes', adding that 'mistakes were made and that needs to be uncovered'. Meanwhile, shocking footage of a knife attack in Belfast went viral on social media, showing the victim being pinned to the ground and repeatedly stabbed - before a bystander intervened with a hurling stick. A Sudanese man in his 30s is in custody and has been charged with attempted murder, while the victim, in his 40s, suffered 'significant injuries'. Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the incident 'horrific' and 'sickening'. Officials have called for calm after video footage circulated on social media sparked widespread shock and condemnation. "
