Pressure mounts on police to lift Gaza march ban
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
PRESSURE is mounting on the Metropolitan Police to lift its ban on Saturday’s Palestine protest.
