The demonstration against the banning of Palestine Action as a terror group has been “the picture of peaceful protest”, organiser Defend Our Juries (DOJ) has claimed after the Metropolitan Police said its officers have been “subjected to an exceptional level of abuse”.
The force said officers have been punched, kicked, spat at and had objects thrown at them as they policed the Westminster rally in which an estimated 1,500 people took part – many holding signs that read: “I support Palestine Action”.
