Pressure mounts on police to lift Gaza march ban
Metropolitan Police officers form a cordon at Parliament Square to prevent protesters reaching Westminster Bridge during a Free Palestine Coalition demonstration in central London, January 6, 2024
PRESSURE is mounting on the Metropolitan Police to lift its ban on Saturday’s Palestine protest.
Anger continued to grow at the police decision to stop demonstrators going anywhere near BBC headquarters for their protest against the broadcasters’ pro-Israel bias throughout the Gaza genocide.
“We will march,” the coalition organising the demonstration reaffirms today, their position backed by a wave of support from public figures and Jewish representatives.
