Four men from different parts of the United Kingdom were arrested on Tuesday for allegedly trespassing on the grounds of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's home in North Yorkshire. The North Yorkshire Police reported that the men were apprehended within one minute of entering Kirby Sigston Manor, located east of Northallerton.
The men, aged 52, 43, 21, and 20, were escorted off the property and arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespassing. They remain in police custody for questioning as the investigation continues.
Rishi Sunak assumed office on October 25, 2022, following the short tenure of Liz Truss and the turbulent term of Boris Johnson. The protest group, Youth Demand, shared a video on social media showing one of the men defecating on the prime minister's property, calling it a 'parting gift' to Sunak and his political party.
Youth Demand criticized Sunak and his colleagues, stating that they do not represent the group and expressing discontent with the political system in the UK. Sunak had previously condemned the group after they protested outside Labor leader Keir Starmer.
This incident is not the first time protesters have targeted Sunak. Last August, Greenpeace activists covered his home in black cloth to protest his oil policy.
