Over 200,000 pro-Palestinian protesters allowed to demonstrate outside UK Israeli embassy
2024-02-17
[Jpost] The Metropolitan Police said that the time of the protest had changed so that the demonstration would not disrupt any local synagogues.
So thoughtful of them.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed over X on Friday that Saturday’s Palestinian Solidarity Campaign would be allowed to demonstrate outside the Israeli embassy.

Over 200,000 protesters are expected to participate in the march, The Express reported.

“Participants in the protest will be kept more than 100m away from the embassy grounds, behind barriers controlled by officers. They will not be permitted to enter the area marked in red on the map below and anyone doing so faces arrest,” the police wrote on X.

The police added that, as a measure of precaution, the time of the demonstration had been changed so that it would not coincide with the time that members of the Jewish community leave synagogues on Shabbat.

Police said that one suspect was arrested ahead of the demonstration on suspicion of supporting a terrorist organization.

In addition to changing the time of the protest, the police stated that 1,500 officers would be policing the protest - “A significant number will be ensuring a protest march organized by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign takes place safely and that any offenses are dealt with.”

Has England immigration rate outpaced. Natural citizen births. Like USA is headed for, or has arrived at already?
