LIVE: Protesters gather at London’s Parliament Square amid outrage over Sarah Everard killing

Demonstrators gather at London’s Parliament Square on Tuesday, March 16, to draw attention to the issue of female security following the recent killing of Sarah Everard. The protests take place as British MPs are expected to debate a policing bill, which is designed to give more powers to the police, particularly concerning protests. Everard went missing on March 3 near her home in south London. Her body was found by police in woodland near Ashford, Kent, a week later. On Saturday, a police officer was charged with the kidnap and murder of the 33-year-old at London’s Westminster Magistrates Court. The incident sparked a wave of anger among women across the UK, with many gathering for protests to demand safer streets.
