The far-right group Proud Boys have announced plans to hold a march in Washington, D.C., on the anniversary of the January 6 Capitol attack. The group, whose members were convicted of seditious conspiracy for their role in the 2021 riot, intends to gather despite ongoing legal repercussions.
In the aftermath of the attack, BBC Newsnight's Gabriel Gatehouse analysed footage showing Proud Boys marching on the Capitol even before Donald Trump had spoken at a rally. The video highlighted the actions of Joe Biggs and Ethan Nordean, two of the four men later found guilty of seditious conspiracy.
The announcement comes as the United States remains divided over the events of January 6, with the Proud Boys continuing to operate despite federal prosecutions. The march is expected to draw counter-protests and heightened security in the capital.
