Timothy Miller, 76, of Sherwood Avenue in Hedge End, has been charged with wearing or using an item to conceal identity at a protest in Portsmouth on Saturday. Hampshire Police had previously stated they would use new powers under the Crime and Policing Act to prevent protesters from wearing face coverings that conceal their identity.
Mr Miller is scheduled to appear before Portsmouth magistrates on Monday. Several hundred anti-migrant protesters marched through the city centre, while anti-racism groups also gathered at Guildhall Square, with police keeping the two groups apart.
Separately, David McNally, 33, of Winchester Road in Portsmouth, was charged with obstructing the highway and attempted criminal damage. He is due in court on 29 October.
A 16-year-old male from Waterlooville was arrested at Saturday's protests on suspicion of violent disorder, in connection with events at Eastney Marina on 6 September. He has been released on bail until 12 December. Del Leon Somerville, 42, from Paulsgrove, appeared at Portsmouth Magistrates Court on Saturday charged with violent disorder and assaulting a police officer at the Eastney protest, and was remanded in custody to appear at Portsmouth Crown Court on 16 September.
