Home secretary said decision was made to ‘prevent serious public disorder’ after Metropolitan police called for Sunday demonstration to be banned
The home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, has approved a request from the Metropolitan police to ban a pro-Palestinian march planned for Sunday “to prevent serious public disorder”.
The annual Al Quds Day march in London had drawn criticism over apparent backing for the Iranian regime after its organisers expressed support for the country’s late leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
