POLICE SCOTLAND stand accused of “brutal and idiotic” tactics as a peaceful display of Palestinian solidarity descended into chaos outside the Thales factory in Govan.

On the day that countless people across the world showed their solidarity with the people of Palestine suffering from the ongoing Israeli onslaught for Nakba, workers and local activists gathered outside the Glasgow plant.

Police charged protesters, throwing them to the ground and against walls as officers cleared them from the factory entrance.
