London Police Probe Rapper Bobby Vylan Over ‘Death to the IDF’ Chant at Al Quds Day Protest

Twelve arrests were made and police deployed 1,000 officers to keep rival groups apart during the static Al Quds Day protests amid concerns of serious public disorder.

  • On Sunday, the Metropolitan Police opened an investigation into chants of 'death, death to the IDF' led by rapper Bobby Vylan at an Al Quds Day rally in central London, where twelve people were arrested and the crowd appeared to join in.
  • Secretary Shabana Mahmood granted police a month-long ban, so organisers held a permitted static protest between 1pm and 3pm along Vauxhall and Lambeth bridges.
  • Scotland Yard deployed the River Thames as a physical barrier with two police boats and drafted at least 1,000 officers to manage the protest and counter-protest.
