Five protesters were arrested amid ongoing protests disrupting the filming of Gal Gadot's new movie in London. The protests are linked to the actress's strong support for Israel, with the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel urging a boycott of her films. The Metropolitan Police stated the protests caused serious disruption, and emphasized their responsibility to balance peaceful protest rights with the need to maintain order and protect legitimate work activities in the city.
The protesters were arrested for allegedly obstructing the filming of Gal Gadot's new movie, acting on claims of her support for Israel's military actions.
Supt Neil Holyoak stated, 'While we acknowledge the importance of peaceful protest, we must intervene when it becomes serious disruption or criminality.'
The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic & Cultural Boycott of Israel (Pacbi) has called for a boycott of Gadot's films due to her vocal support for Israel.
Five people were arrested for harassment and for obstructing access to a workplace, as the protests escalated against filming locations across London.
