Graham Smith, the chief executive of Republic, a prominent anti-monarchy group in the U.K., was arrested along with five others Saturday while unloading signs reading “Not My King,” according to tweets from the group and the Associated Press.
“They’re under arrest, end of (story),” a police officer says in a video tweeted by the Alliance of European Republican Movements, an organization advocating for the end of monarchies across Europe. The officer did not say anything further when the videographers attempted to ask why the protestors were being arrested.
