More than 350 protesters were detained on Saturday by the London police supported by the prohibited propalestine group. Despite the calls, they met at the demonstration to dismiss her after an attack at the Manchester Synagogue, TASR reports, according to Reuters, according to Reuters.
The attack in Manchester claimed two victims and the police shot the attacker, British of Syrian descent, which, according to investigators, could be inspired by extremist Islamist ideology. The organizers rejected police and government applications to cancel Saturday’s demonstration, which was announced before the attack. Its aim is to continue protests against the ban on the Palestine Action group based on anti -terrorist legislation.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called for peace on Saturday morning. “I call on anyone who is considering protesting this weekend to recognize and respect the sadness of the British Jews,” he wrote on the social network. “This is a moment for mourning. It is not time to stimulate tension and cause additional pain. It’s time to keep together, ”he stressed.
Police detained protesters at Trafalgar Square in the center of London and at the Westminster Bridge near Parliament for holding posters with inscriptions declaring support for the Palestine Action group. This was banned in July after its members broke the military base and damaged army aircraft.
The ban on the group according to anti -terrorist legislation means that the violation of the law is also the public expression of support for Palestine Action. In a series of demonstrations, the British police have detained hundreds of people in recent months.
