Police have a "robust plan" in place to deal with a planned anti-migrant protest in Warwick next weekend.

Patriotic Alternative is organising the protest "against mass immigration and the housing of migrants in hotels" for Saturday 7 February.

The protest has been triggered following the alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl in Nuneaton last year.

Warwickshire Police told Nub News it is aware of the protest, adding: "As we would for any protest or demonstration, we have a robust plan in place to ensure the safety of all who are attending and the wider public."

Patriotic Alternative said: "We are calling on all patriots to come to Warwick at the beginning of February to protest against mass immigration and the housing of migrants in hotels.

"Speeches will be given by both Mark Collett and Laura Towler as well as by local activists.

"We want to get the year off to a big start by pushing back against one of the greatest threats to our people - illegal migrants being housed in our communities.

"We call for an immediate end to immigration and for all those here illegally to be deported."

Two men - both Afghan nationals - have since been charged over the alleged rape in July 2025 and are currently standing trial.

Ahmad Mulakhil, 23, has previously pleaded guilty to one charge of raping a child under the age of 13, but has denied two further counts as well as denying abducting a child, two counts of sexual assault, and one count of taking indecent photos of a child.

Mohammad Kabir, 24, has denied charges of intentional strangulation, committing an offence with intent to commit a sexual offence and attempted abduction.

Their trial continues.

Patriotic Alternative did not give details of the time or specific location of its demonstration.

A previous demonstration was held outside a migrant hotel in Warwick in December.
