Khalid Abdalla, known for his role in 'The Crown', reported being summoned by Metropolitan police regarding a pro-Palestine protest held on January 18. He emphasized the significance of defending the right to protest amidst rising censorship of pro-Palestine voices. The Palestine Coalition criticized the police’s actions against activists, which suggest violations of protest regulations in place during such events. Notably, others involved in the protest, including some MPs and the event’s chief steward, faced legal repercussions for alleged breaches involving protest conditions.
The right to protest is under attack in this country and it requires us all to defend it. This statement underscores the growing concern regarding freedom of expression.
While there is an alarming rise in attempts to censor voices that stand up for Palestine, even as it faces open calls for ethnic cleansing, it will not work.
