During a pro-Palestinian rally in central London, Youth Demand protesters numbering around 40 were told to move on by police. They gathered at Lincoln's Inn Fields and proceeded to King's Cross, part of a series of planned demonstrations in April. Protesters displayed banners against Israel's military actions and faced police warnings under public order laws. Despite police presence and prior arrests of members, the group claimed an increase in support following recent media attention, indicating a growing momentum for their cause amid ongoing tensions in public demonstrations.
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan police highlighted that while the right to protest is recognized, they must intervene to prevent activities that escalate into serious disruption or criminality.
Youth Demand maintained that the increased publicity from their recent arrest led to a surge in support, with many people joining their cause after the Quaker meeting incident.
