The government has approved a request from the police to ban the Al Quds Day march in London on Sunday to prevent “serious public disorder” given the conflict in the Middle East, the home secretary has said.
The Metropolitan Police asked for the ban saying it was concerned about the high number of protesters and counter-protesters, adding the march organisers were “supportive of the Iranian regime” .
The Islamic Human Rights Commission, who organise the annual march, insist it is a peaceful, pro-Palestinian event. It says a static protest will take place instead.
I bet they march anyway.
Meanwhile in Ontario … Al Quds Day Bad! But we’re too weak to cancel it.
