UK police to get new powers after latest pro-Palestinian protest
London (Reuters) -British Police will take the authority to restrict protests in the same place, and the government made a statement on Sunday a day after the last palist’s pro -palist shows after a deadly attack in a synagogue.
The Ministry of Interior said new powers will allow senior police officers to take into account the cumulative effect of previous protests on a local community.
“The right to protest is a fundamental freedom in our country. However, this freedom should be balanced with the freedom to live the fearless lives of its neighbors.” He said.
“Great, repeated protests may feel scary and afraid of leaving their homes by feeling insecure parts of our country, especially religious communities, insecure parts of our country.” He said.
On Saturday, the police arrested approximately 500 people in the center of London during a protest that supported the Palestinian action, a group that was banned in July, after entering a member of the members and damaging military planes.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer, organizers in a synagogue in Manchester on Thursday after the murder of two people, the most sacred day for the Jews called Yom Kippur to call the show.
Police shot the attacker, a Syrian British man, a Syrian British man, which the authorities may have inspired by pro -Islamist ideology.
The group behind the protests on Saturday said that their plans to limit more power represented a “dangerous, authoritarian climbing” in a print on a print.
“We declare a great rise … And we urge all our supporters to register to show that we will not stop because our fundamental rights are stripped.” He said.
The British Council welcomed the government’s announcement, but said that more transactions should be done to protect the Jewish community.
The Ministry of Interior said in a statement that Mahmood has reviewed the powers of the police to be adequately and consistently implemented by the police, including the powers of prohibiting protests.
