“In light of the unrest and protests, also violent, occurring in some areas of Northern England and Northern Ireland, Italian nationals are advised to avoid gatherings and the most high-risk areas,” the Consulate said.
It also advised Italian nationals to “keep updated, also by consulting any warnings issued by local law enforcement authorities”.
As of Thursday morning, authorities did not advise Italian nationals to avoid travelling to the UK.
Over 400 people have been arrested so far in connection with disorders around the UK after three girls aged between six and nine were killed in a knife attack in Southport on Monday, July 29th.
Protests have been reported as being fuelled by racial hatred stemming from unfounded speculation that the perpetrator was a Muslim immigrant, with multiple attacks targeting housing asylum seekers and mosques.
