Palestine protest to go ahead despite disruptions by Met Police
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

TENS of thousands are expected to defy attempts by the Metropolitan Police to disrupt tomorrow’s rally for Palestine in London.

The march had originally been approved to begin at BBC Portland Place, with campaigners seeking to highlight biased coverage of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

But the Met moved to ban the route, even though protesters had marched through it twice before, claiming that it risks disrupting services at a nearby synagogue.
