Met Police consider banning pro-Palestine march on Armistice Day

There have been a number of pro-Palestine marches in London since the latest conflict broke out last month The Metropolitan Police says it will use ‘any legislation necessary to keep people safe’ as it decides whether to ban a major protest on Armistice Day. The group says it will avoid Whitehall and the area around the Cenotaph war memorial during its demonstration – and says it has not organised any protests to take place on Remembrance Sunday.

’ Home Secretary Suella Braverman described pro-Palestine demonstrations as ‘hate marches’, saying some participants chanted ‘jihad’ and were ‘calling for the erasure of Israel’. She said yesterday that anyone who attempted to vandalise the Cenotaph should be ‘put in a jail cell faster than their feet can touch the ground’. In order to ban a protest the Met must prove the threshold for a Section 13 order has been met – but they are unlikely to see any resistance from Ms Braverman.
