Home Office Bans Al Quds Day March, First Since 2012
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood banned the march citing risks of serious disorder amid heightened Middle East tensions and previous arrests for terrorism and hate crimes.
- The Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, has banned the Al Quds Day march in London due to concerns about serious public disorder linked to the event's associations with Iran and ongoing Middle East conflicts.
- The Al Quds Day event was established in 1979 by Iran's revolutionary leader to oppose Israel and support Palestinians, and it has often involved groups associated with the Iranian regime and controversial rhetoric.
- The ban was approved following an assessment by Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley, who cited extreme tensions expected between protesters and counter-protesters.
- Organizers, including the Islamic Human Rights Commission, plan to legally challenge the ban and hold a static protest, while police have pledged to enforce the law against hate and division.
