Almost 2,000 police officers will be on duty today when more than 100,000 pro-Palestinian supporters are expected to march through London, with extra powers in place to protect landmarks honouring Britain’s war dead, according to AFP.
Pro-Palestinian marches have been held in the UK capital over recent weekends, with police making almost 100 arrests for offences including supporting banned organisations and serious hate crimes.
But today’s march promises to be more fraught as it coincides with Armistice Day, which commemorates those who have died in conflict since World War I.
