The teenager was found guilty of violent disorder after participating in anti-immigration protests that turned violent, marking one of the first custodial sentences linked to Southport unrest.
During his appeal at Bristol Crown Court, it was highlighted that the youth was under the influence of alcohol and acted in a provocative manner, joining in with swearing and chanting.
Christine Hart, prosecuting, presented evidence of the teenager's aggressive behavior, including throwing a bottle and a chair at a police vehicle amidst the protests.
The case underscores the tension surrounding immigration issues in the UK, particularly as protests have begun to clash with established laws and community peace in recent months.
