There are a few recent cases to note.

有几起近期案例值得注意。

• Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old student, was stabbed in December in the southern English city of Southampton. This week, footage was released that showed him being handcuffed by the police as he lay dying, which fueled outrage and an increasingly politicized conversation online. The day after the footage was released, a night of protest devolved into violence in Southampton. The right-wing lawmaker Nigel Farage claimed that the police’s initial response — believing the account given by the attacker, a British-born Sikh man, instead of the victim’s — was evidence of “anti-white prejudice.”

• 18岁学生亨利·诺瓦克于12月在英格兰南部城市南安普顿被刺死。本周公布的视频显示奄奄一息的他被警察戴上手铐，引发了愤怒和日益政治化的网络讨论。视频公布次日，南安普顿的抗议活动演变为暴力事件。右翼议员奈杰尔·法拉奇声称，警方最初更相信袭击者——一名英国出生的锡克教徒——的说法而非受害者，这正是“反白人偏见”的证据。

• An earlier wave of anti-immigrant anger engulfed Northern Ireland in July 2025, after an alleged sexual assault in the town of Ballymena. Two 14-year-old boys were charged with attempted oral rape of a girl; they both denied the charges, the BBC reported, and spoke through a Romanian interpreter. Far-right agitators whipped up outrage that led to days of unrest. Houses and shops were set on fire.

• 2025年7月，北爱尔兰城镇巴利米纳发生一起涉嫌性侵事件后，反移民愤怒浪潮席卷北爱尔兰。两名14岁男孩被控对一名女孩实施口交强奸未遂；据BBC报道，两人均否认指控，并通过罗马尼亚语翻译发言。极右翼煽动者煽动愤怒，导致多日骚乱。房屋和商店遭到纵火。

2024年，英格兰南港，三名儿童被一名少年杀害的案发地附近留下的鲜花。

• In the summer of 2024, a teenager killed three children in a dance class in Southport, England, and wounded 10 other people. After disinformation about the attacker’s identity swirled, a series of anti-immigrant riots broke out in more than a dozen towns and cities in England and Northern Ireland. False claims that the attacker was an undocumented immigrant or a newly arrived asylum seeker were amplified by far-right agitators. The attacker, a deeply disturbed person who was 17 at the time of the rampage, is a British citizen who was born in Wales to parents from Rwanda.

• 2024年夏天，一名青少年在英格兰南港的一个舞蹈班上杀死三名儿童，并造成10人受伤。在关于袭击者身份的虚假信息传播后，英格兰和北爱尔兰十多个城镇爆发了反移民骚乱。极右翼煽动者放大了袭击者是无证移民或新抵达寻求庇护者的虚假说法。精神严重失常的袭击者当时17岁，是威尔士出生的英国公民，父母来自卢旺达。
