A SILENT Quaker meeting will be held outside Scotland Yard on Thursday following the shock raid by police on Westminster Meeting House last week.

At least 20 officers broke into the central London venue last Thursday and arrested six people attending a talk by Youth Demand on climate change and peace in Gaza.

Police arrested the attendees, including a journalist and someone attending their first talk, on conspiracy to cause a public nuisance.
