Organisers of pro-Palestinian marches through London have accused ministers and police of trying to "demonise" their protests as they told MPs that only a "tiny minority" of participants had committed potential hate or terror offences.
Chris Nineham, the vice-chairman of the campaign group Stop the War, told the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee on Wednesday that five marches in the capital since the start of the war in Israel and Gaza had all taken place with minimal disorder.
