Old laws and wrong information lead to violence against immigrants in Britain.

A report says old laws made it hard for police to stop fake news. This fake news made anti-immigrant anger worse in Britain last summer. The laws stopped police from sharing details about the case.

In July, three children were killed in an attack. People spread wrong info that the attacker was a Muslim migrant. This led to attacks on places where asylum seekers lived.

The attacker was Axel Rudakubana, born in Britain to parents from Rwanda. He was found guilty of killing the children. He will be in prison for a very long time.

Old rules about court cases stopped police from fixing the fake info online. They also couldn't say who the attacker was because he was under 18. A fake tweet about the attacker was shared a lot.

A leader said the police not sharing info let fake claims grow. The government will look at the rules about court cases. The report also said police treated everyone the same during the violence, no matter their views.
