Ryan Bridge, the founder of the activist group Raise the Colours, has been charged with 14 offences, including racially aggravated harassment and assault. The charges stem from incidents that occurred over a two-month period in Oxfordshire earlier this year. Bridge is scheduled to appear in court on 3 November.
The charges include seven counts of using threatening words or behaviour, two counts of racially aggravated harassment, and one count of racially aggravated fear of violence. This follows a recent High Court injunction against flag placements near highways in Oxfordshire due to safety concerns.
