Ben Jamal, the director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, stated: 'Saturday is the traditional day of the pro-Palestine demonstrations as it allowed people from across the country to attend. The police are effectively stopping us from staging pro-Palestine protests outside the BBC.' His comments highlight the frustration of organizers who feel their right to protest is being suppressed.
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan police explained: 'The role of the police is to ensure that groups can protest lawfully, while also balancing the rights of those in the wider community to go about their lives without serious disruption. We have carefully considered the likely impact of the PSC's plans.' This reflects the complexities the police face in managing public demonstrations.
