Pride activists stage ‘die-in’ against police presence on parade

QUEER activists staged a “die-in” at Pride in London on Saturday, bringing the parade to a halt in protest against the inclusion of police officers.
A group of 40 LGBTQ+ activists, wearing all black with pink veils, lay on the ground ahead of the Metropolitan Police block.
Others held up banners reading: “No pride in cops,” and “No pride in borders,” to demand that Pride in London events ban the participation of police officers at all future marches.
