PALESTINE campaigners have vowed to continue protests against arms sales to Israel and for a ceasefire despite the Metropolitan Police “ramping up” threats against them.

Organisers of tomorrow’s 19th national demonstration since October 7, marching to the Israeli embassy in London, said that the protest will go on regardless of the “unprecedented” pressures they face from the force, initially to change locations, and now also pushing back the start time by over an hour and a half at the last minute.

Stop the War Coalition (STWC), Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), the Jewish Socialists’ Group (JSG), Muslim Association of Britain (MAB), the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and the Friends of Al-Aqsa (FOA) said that the Met had enforced restrictions under Sections 12 and 14 of the Public Order Act – but had not specified the reasons.
