Home Secretary Suella Braverman Labels Pro-Palestinian Protests as 'Hate Marches', Promises to Toughen Laws on Extremism
Braverman Criticized for 'Inflammatory Language' Amidst Rising Tensions, Terror Threat Level Remains 'Substantial' Despite Calls to Toughen Extremism Laws
- Home Secretary Suella Braverman has described pro-Palestine protests as 'hate marches', and said she would not hesitate to change terror laws in order to combat 'bad actors' exploiting legislative loopholes.
- Despite the 'accelerated' terror threat due to the Israel-Hamas conflict, the national terror threat level will not be raised from 'substantial' to 'severe'.
- Critics accuse Braverman of using inflammatory language, creating difficulties for police in managing crime and extremism.
- Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has called for a re-evaluation of existing laws, suggesting that gaps allow extremist groups to propagate 'toxic messages'.
- Despite threats, the terror threat in the UK, reduced from 'severe' to 'substantial' earlier, will not be elevated again.
