US EditionHome Office Bans Al Quds Day March, First Since 2012
The ban aims to prevent serious disorder amid large turnout and multiple counter-protests, marking the first such prohibition in London since 2012, police said.
- The Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, has banned the Al Quds Day march in London due to concerns about serious public disorder linked to the event's associations with Iran and ongoing Middle East conflicts.
- The Al Quds Day event was established in 1979 by Iran's revolutionary leader to oppose Israel and support Palestinians, and it has often involved groups associated with the Iranian regime and controversial rhetoric.
- The ban was approved following an assessment by Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley, who cited extreme tensions expected between protesters and counter-protesters.
- Organizers, including the Islamic Human Rights Commission, plan to legally challenge the ban and hold a static protest, while police have pledged to enforce the law against hate and division.
