Met Police attempt to block national Palestine march from central London
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
CAMPAIGNERS have demanded that the Metropolitan Police drop its attempts to block a pro-Palestine demonstration in central London on Saturday.
Despite following the normal protocols in co-ordinating with the police, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), one of the organisers, says it has not been given any central London start or end point for the demonstration, unlike every other time.
The coalition notified the police of its intention to hold a demonstration over a month ago.
