A spokesperson from Defend Our Juries expressed approval for the police's actions, while others emphasized the range of professions represented in the protest, which highlighted significant dissent against the ban.
A spokesperson for Defend Our Juries praised the counter-terrorism police for their decisive action in protecting London from signs opposing genocide in Gaza and supporting those trying to prevent it.
