Large police presence planned as thousands to gather in rally against far-right in London

  • Police have imposed conditions on a mass demonstration against the far-right set to take place in central London on Saturday, with a significant police presence expected.
  • Two main marches, one organised by the Together Alliance and another by the Palestine Coalition, will converge, with a joint rally on Whitehall banned from continuing after 5pm.
  • Concerns were raised about the Palestine Coalition's form-up point being near a synagogue, leading police to set conditions requiring participants to form up half a mile away to reassure the Jewish community.
  • London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan and Green Party leader Zack Polanski are expected to address the rally, with Polanski emphasising standing against hate.
  • Alongside the main demonstration, several protests against the Iranian regime are also scheduled in Westminster over the weekend, adding to a busy period for police operations.
