District Judge Tim Pattinson ordered an inquest to be held ahead of the girl's upcoming sentencing, which is due to be announced on September 30. She was released pending a bail hearing.

The incident took place at the Potters International Hotel in Aldershot on July 31, where a peaceful anti-immigration demonstration turned violent at 6.45pm. According to the police in Hampshire, a small percentage of the 200 protesters present began to throw objects at the asylum and make “racist” insults.

The British legal system has worked intensively during the week to quickly deal with the many cases related to the racial riots.
