Actor Khalid Abdalla Summoned for Police Interview Over Pro-Palestinian Protest

The Metropolitan Police are investigating alleged breaches of protest restrictions during a January demonstration in London.

  • Khalid Abdalla, known for his role in 'The Crown,' has been summoned by the Metropolitan Police for a formal interview regarding his participation in a pro-Palestinian protest on January 18.
  • The protest, organized by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, was initially restricted to a static rally by police but later saw demonstrators marching toward Trafalgar Square.
  • The Metropolitan Police cited potential breaches of Public Order Act conditions, claiming the protest caused significant disruption and violated pre-imposed restrictions.
  • Abdalla, along with other activists, including an 87-year-old Holocaust survivor, has publicly defended the right to protest, stating it is under threat in the UK.
  • Several prominent figures, including former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and other activists, have also been interviewed or charged in connection with the protest.
