Violent Clashes in London as Pro-Palestinian March Meets Far-Right Counter-Protest

145 Arrested, Nine Officers Injured, Seven Charged in Weekend Unrest

Over the weekend, London saw violent clashes between far-right groups and pro-Palestinian protesters, with 145 people arrested and nine officers injured.
The pro-Palestinian demonstration, which coincided with Armistice Day, saw around 300,000 people march through central London calling for a ceasefire in the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.
Counter-protesters, including far-right groups, clashed with police near the Cenotaph war memorial, leading to the majority of the arrests.
UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak condemned the 'violent, wholly unacceptable' actions by both far-right groups and 'Hamas sympathisers'.
Seven men have been charged with offences including inciting racial hatred, possession of weapons, possession of drugs and assault on an emergency worker.
