The three men are sentenced to between 20 and 36 months in prison for violently disturbing the peace and for inciting violence. The penalties were increased because the actions are considered hate crimes, reports BBC.
Earlier, an 18-year-old was sentenced after the riots in Bolton. The teenager was the first to be sentenced to prison in connection with the riots that broke out after a stabbing in Southport on July 29.
About thirty right-wing extremist protests are planned for Wednesday evening, and the police are now preparing for new riots. Around 6,000 special police officers are ready to combat the riots raging across the country.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer has held another crisis meeting and promises to take a tough stance against the rioters.
500 prison places
An additional 500 prison places have been made available, and more arrests are expected. So far, around 400 people have been arrested and over a hundred police officers have been injured in connection with the riots.
A list of intended targets is circulating on social media, and several refugee organizations and lawyers working with migration issues say they feel threatened.
They are worried, both for their own and their clients' sake. Several of them meet and talk to asylum seekers living in the refugee centers that have been attacked, says Nick Emmerson from the professional organization The Law Society.
Refugee organizations targeted
A list of about forty organizations that help refugees, as well as names and addresses of several lawyers working with refugee issues, has been shared on, among other things, the messaging service Telegram.
We do not yet know if it will lead to protests similar to those we have seen, or if the purpose of publishing the list is to provoke and create anxiety, says Community Minister Jim McMahon to BBC.
