  "account": "A 38-year-old man from Whiteley, Fareham, has been charged after a protest over migrant arrivals in Gosport, Hampshire. Jamie Bennett was arrested for failing to comply with a prohibited assembly direction. The incident occurred on Sunday following a mid-Channel rescue operation, during which 149 migrants, alongside a French vessel, were brought ashore at Gosport. Flares were set off, and scuffles with police ensued, involving approximately 150 anti-migrant demonstrators. Eleven men aged between 22 and 59, and a 57-year-old woman, were arrested, with charges including assaulting police officers, affray, and racially aggravated public order. The remaining individuals have been bailed pending further inquiries. Police reported minor injuries among a few officers but no serious harm. Demonstrators attempted to obstruct police vans, chanting \"shame on you\" and \"deport the lot.\" This ongoing story will be updated with further details.",
