Pro-Palestinian activists have called for Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer to be charged with aiding and abetting genocide just hours after the Prime Minister warned that democracy was being targeted by extremists.
A crowd of about 150 protesters gathered outside the Houses of Parliament on Saturday and chanted: “From the river, to the sea”.
About 30 officers watched on in central London as the protesters repeatedly chanted what the Campaign Against Antisemitism has previously described as “genocidal language”.
When The Telegraph asked one police officer why the chant was allowed, he said: “It depends on the context.”
The protest, organised by the fringe Palestinian Pulse organisation, was accompanied by a drum, trombone and trumpet band.
At one point, the protesters’ chant appeared to be directed towards the Prime Minister’s comments from Friday, as they shouted: “In our thousands and our millions, we are all Palestinians. We won’t be intimidated”.
