Four police officers were injured and 29 people were arrested after thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered in London’s Trafalgar Square demanding a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.
But the force said some demonstrators had launched fireworks into crowds and towards police, leaving four officers injured. Home Secretary Suella Braverman has previously branded the slogan antisemitic and claimed that it is “widely understood” to call for the destruction of Israel.Effigies of dead babies were left on the ground in Trafalgar Square, next to pictures of children and candles.An order was also issued giving officers the power to require someone to remove any item being used to conceal their identity, the force said.
Nine people were arrested for public order offences, including two that were racially aggravated, and three others for assaulting a police officer.Two further people were arrested on suspicion of breaching section 12 of the Terrorism Act after they were seen displaying a banner appearing to support a proscribed organisation.
