Organisers of an al-Quds day march in London are “closely associated with the Iranian regime”, Shabana Mahmood has told MPs.
The annual protest, which was created by Iran’s Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, is billed as an international day in support of Palestine. Home secretary Shabana Mahmood has approved a request from the Metropolitan Police to ban the march planned for Sunday “to prevent serious public disorder”.
