Eight arrests at pro-Palestinian march in London

Eight arrests have been made as pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched through central London in protest at the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Thousands of campaigners set off from Piccadilly Circus shortly after on Saturday, with the march passing alongside Hyde Park before ending on Kensington Road. The Metropolitan Police said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that the arrests were for a range of offences, including those under the Public Order Act. Protesters held signs at the demonstration that read “Starmer has blood on his hands” and “Stop the war coalition”. #palestine #israel #protest Read more here:
