LONDON: British prime minister Rishi Sunak on Wednesday demanded assurances from London’s police chief that a pro-Palestinian march scheduled for Saturday would be held safely, even as police have made nearly 200 hate crime arrests since Hamas militants attacked Israel last month.
“ has said that he can ensure that we safeguard remembrance for the country this weekend as well as keep the public safe,” Sunak said. “My job is to hold them accountable for that.” The Palestinian Solidarity Campaign, which is organising Saturday’s march, has said it would avoid the Cenotaph, London’s main war memorial.
Since Oct 7, London police have made 188 arrests for hate crimes, including 98 for suspected antisemitic offences, 21 for Islamophobic offences and 12 for “faith hate crimes”. The rest were for public order offences, many of which were racially aggravated and linked to protests.
