Large police presence planned as thousands to gather in rally against far-right
- Thousands are expected to gather in Central London today as the Metropolitan Police deploy a significant presence for two converging anti-far-right marches organized by the Together Alliance and Palestine Coalition, concluding at Whitehall.
- Deputy Assistant Commissioner Jon Savell imposed strict conditions requiring participants to form up south of Prince Consort Gardens, half a mile from a synagogue, following a recent arson attack in Golders Green that heightened community fears.
- Green party leader Zack Polanski will speak at the Whitehall rally, while former Little Mix singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock performs at a concurrent musical event in Trafalgar Square. London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan will address crowds via video message.
- Police imposed public order conditions banning the joint rally from continuing after 5pm. Polanski stated, "Our plan is simple... never back down in the face of hate," emphasizing opposition to discrimination against migrants and Muslims.
- Concurrent with the mass protest, the Metropolitan Police confirmed separate demonstrations against the Iranian regime will occur in Westminster on both Saturday and Sunday, with authorities managing static assemblies and marches throughout the weekend.
