The Met Police blocked a Pro-Palestine march near the BBC's headquarters, citing proximity to a synagogue and potential disruption on Saturday, a Jewish holy day.
Commander Adam Slonecki emphasized that the police's decision was based on community feedback, especially the concerns of local Jewish congregants, highlighting the serious disruption to Shabbat.
The Met Police has proactively used the Public Order Act more than ever in recent history, implementing conditions to manage protests and their impact on communities.
Slonecki acknowledged the heightened concerns among Jewish Londoners, noting many have changed plans or avoided central London due to the ongoing protests near synagogues.
