Tanushka Marah's campaign office
BRITISH-PALESTINIAN independent candidate for Hove and Portslade Tanushka Marah says she was left deeply saddened after her campaign office was vandalised and the door glued shut.
She said it followed weeks of harassment by pro-Israel activists, secret filming of her team’s events and volunteers, misinformation about her and the campaign and theft of electoral materials.
Ms Marah said the incident has been reported to the police but despite the vandalism, “we quickly regrouped and found a silver lining as it provided an opportunity for the community to come together and creatively repair our office front.”
