Over 40 legal experts demand probe into Met's policing of Palestine demonstration
OVER 40 legal experts have signed a letter to the Home Secretary demanding an independent investigation into the Met’s policing of London’s pro-Palestine protest at the weekend.
Saturday’s rally was met with a heavy-handed police presence which saw the arrest of 77 protesters — the most at any national demonstration for Palestine.
The protest had already been marred by disruption after the Met reneged on a previous agreement to allow a march from the BBC HQ to Whitehall, a route taken several times before.
