Attendees marched through the British capital ahead of an afternoon rally.
LONDON: Thousands of people rallied today in central London for a pro-Palestinian protest following police warnings that anyone showing support for the militant group Hamas could face arrest.
“I think all just people around the world, not just in Britain, must stand up and call for this madness ,” Ismail Patel, chairman of the Friends of Al-Aqsa campaign, told AFP at the demonstration.The rally comes as Israel intensifies its war to destroy Hamas’ capability, relentlessly pounding the Gaza Strip and deploying tens of thousands of soldiers nearby ahead of an expected ground offensive in the enclave.
A banned terrorist organisation in Britain, its members – or those found guilty of inviting support for it – can be jailed for up to 14 years under UK law. “Just being Palestinian does not give the rights to kill them. These appalling atrocities have been taking place for so many years,” he added.
