Hostile states like Russia, Iran, and China aim to increase polarization in debates on protest policing in London to harm British interests, according to Sir Mark Rowley.
The Met Commissioner mentioned that efforts to combat inflammatory online content and identify hate crimes and terrorist offences in protest marches are ongoing, particularly due to concerns from Jewish communities in London.
Sir Mark highlighted the use of powers to regulate protests, mentioning the rise in antisemitic offenses in London and the potential impacts of protests on Jewish Londoners and the economy.
Sir Mark emphasized the likelihood of hostile states engaging in information wars and espionage activities, mentioning recent arrests related to espionage efforts by Russia, Iran, and China.
