Police investigate apparent online threat to 'burn' venue hosting a feminist conference in Cardiff

Police are investigating an online threat made against a feminist conference set to be held in Cardiff. The FiLiA Women's Rights Conference will arrive in the capital from October 22 until October 24 and claims to be the largest annual grassroots feminist conference in Europe.

Screenshots were widely circulated on social media of a conversation between two Twitter users, with one asking: "Is it in a building that would be a loss if it burnt down?" Both users' accounts have since been set to private mode.

A spokesperson for South Wales Police said: "We can confirm that the matter of an online threat has been reported to South Wales Police."
