3 unusual facts about Red Lion Square disorders


Red Lion Square disorders

Demonstrators from the International Socialists were specifically instructed by their stewards to withdraw from the area of fighting.

This counter-demonstration attracted support from groups not directly under the control of Liberation, including the International Marxist Group (IMG), the Communist Party of England (Marxist-Leninist) and the International Socialists (later the Socialist Workers Party).

The police cordon was reinforced by members of the Special Patrol Group and by mounted police who eventually succeeded in forcing the demonstrators back.
