Over 200,000 pro-Palestinian protesters allowed to demonstrate outside UK Israeli embassy
 [Jpost] The Metropolitan Police said that the time of the protest had changed so that the demonstration would not disrupt any local synagogues.
Over 200,000 protesters are expected to participate in the march, The Express reported. “Participants in the protest will be kept more than 100m away from the embassy grounds, behind barriers controlled by officers. They will not be permitted to enter the area marked in red on the map below and anyone doing so faces arrest,” the police wrote on X. The police added that, as a measure of precaution, the time of the demonstration had been changed so that it would not coincide with the time that members of the Jewish community leave synagogues on Shabbat. Police said that one suspect was arrested ahead of the demonstration on suspicion of supporting a terrorist organization. In addition to changing the time of the protest, the police stated that 1,500 officers would be policing the protest - “A significant number will be ensuring a protest march organized by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign takes place safely and that any offenses are dealt with.” Related: Palestinian Solidarity Campaign: 2007-04-16 Irish artists' call to boycott Israel meets with mockery Palestinian Solidarity Campaign: 2007-04-15 UK journalists boycott Israel over IDF aggression in Gaza Palestinian Solidarity Campaign: 2004-01-18 IRA leader sez Zionists will hijack Holocaust Day Posted by: Skidmark 2024-02-17 |
