THE MET POLICE has called an 87-year-old Jewish Holocaust survivor in for questioning over his involvement in a pro-Palestine march, it emerged today.

Stephen Kapos is among a number of activists who has been asked to attend formal police interviews after attending the January 18 protest. 

The Palestine Coalition of campaign groups that organise the marches said that letters had also been sent to Stop the War Coalition officers Lindsey German, Alex Kenny and Andrew Murray (who is also a Morning Star reporter), Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament general secretary Sophie Bolt, Friends of Al-Aqsa chairman Ismail Patel and actor Khalid Abdalla over alleged breached police conditions on the march.
