Old women among 175 people were arrested during pro-Palestinian demonstrations | News Uk

A blind woman and elderly woman are among 175 people arrested at a Palestinian action demonstration in the Central London this afternoon.

Six protesters were also detained after a group unfurled banners at Westminster Bridge to support prohibited organizations, Met police said.

The troops added that some of the arrested protesters had to be carried out from the Square Trafalgar as many as five officers.

It happened when Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer joined the police and other prominent politicians in asking for demonstrators to postpone today’s general meeting after a fatal terror attack on a synagogue in Manchester on Thursday.

The demonstrators raised the signs of reading ‘I opposed the genocide. I support the Palestinian action. ‘

A 73-year-old woman who refused to give her name was among those who were arrested after wearing a t-shirt ‘plastical action’ written on her.

He said: ‘This is too much we are asked not to protest.

‘Two people were killed. I mean it’s terrible.

‘But they let this genocide continue. That’s thousands of people. In the Jewish language, it’s silly. ‘

Asked if Hamas was a terror organization, he said: ‘I don’t know. I don’t know enough about Hamas. But it’s up to what Palestinians they have in their country. ‘

He then clarified that many Hamas members were ‘freedom fighters’.

Also the protest was Donald Allen, 89, who said he was ‘the most awaited’ to be captured.

The retired civil servant said: ‘I hope they will not take me to the Charing Cross police station after what has been revealed this week by the BBC. But besides that I don’t care.

‘I have my medicine. Extraordinary police. ‘

Hilary Callam, 83, from Hampton Court, West London, said he ‘did not care’ about the prospect of being arrested for the first time in his life.

Although he admitted he was in ‘Two Minds’, whether to attend the meeting given by the event that Sunday, he added that he would not rule out.

On Friday, Head of Met Sir Mark Rowley asked the organizer to defend our judges to cancel the event today, saying that they would divert officers who should be mobilized to protect the public.

Two people were killed and the others were seriously injured after a man of Jihad Al-Shamie went to the Heaton Park Hebrew Jewish trial at Crumpsall in Yom Kippur.

Officers have arrested six people in connection with terror attacks, because the presence of the police has been upgraded outside the synagogue throughout the country.

The Prime Minister has also asked the protesters to ‘respect the sadness of the Jews’ by delaying the planned actions this weekend.

‘This is a moment of mourning. This is not time to trigger tension and cause further pain. This is the time to stand together ‘, he said.
