The UK Government has banned a pro-Palestinian march in London this weekend, the first time a protest march has been banned in the capital for more than 10 years.
The Home Secretary backed the police request to ban the Quds Day march, held annually in support of Palestinian rights, to "prevent serious public disorder".
The decision was made due to concerns about the scale of protest and counter-protest amid tensions over the ongoing US/Israeli war with Iran.
The organisers insist it is always a peaceful demonstration. A spokesperson for the Islamic Human Rights Commission called the ban a "sad day for freedom of expression".
Cabinet minister Darren Jones explained the decision:
IN: So the Metropolitan…
OUT: …keep people safe.
