Police issue warning to protesters before al-Quds Day rally in London

Demonstrators on Sunday will be arrested for expressing support for Palestine Action or intifada chants, says Met

Police have warned demonstrators that they will be arrested for expressing support for Palestine Action or intifada chants at a protest on Sunday.

About 12,000 people are expected to take part in the annual al-Quds Day rally in London, an international demonstration of support for Palestinian rights. The event takes its name from the Arabic version of Jerusalem and was created by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini after Iran’s 1979 revolution.
