THE Metropolitan Police faces fresh claims of political bias after pro-Palestine protesters were arrested under the Terrorism Act for holding up a banner with a dove in a “clear, blue sky.”

The four activists were detained outside University College London at around 6.30pm on Saturday after rallying in solidarity with students calling for an end to Israeli-linked investments.

During police interviews, officers said the banner, depicting a dove carrying a key flying through a breach in Israel’s apartheid wall, allegedly supported the proscribed Hamas militant group because it “depicted a clear blue sky with no clouds, and on October 7 there was clear blue sky with no clouds.”
