Torch bearing nationalists march at University of Virginia

Protestors marched with burning torches at the Charlottesville campus of the University of Virginia, USA, opposing the planned removal of the statue honouring Confederate general Robert E Lee. Counter demonstrators were also present and violence broke out on both sides. The police broke up the clashes and at least one person was arrested. This demonstration took place a day before thousands of nationalists are expected to descend on Charlottesville for a “Unite the Right” event. Footage by Karla Cote/NurPhoto
