These groups can see serious disruption, setting off fireworks causing fear and intimidation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;In particular, we are keen that the message gets out about the importance of dispersing at the end of the march and not creating breakaway groups like we have seen in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;These groups can cause serious disruption, fear and intimidation in communities and amongst people going out their normal business in the West End. Officers will be proactive and decisive in responding to groups who are acting in this way.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Mr Adelekan added: &#8216;The conflict in the Middle East is continuing and here in London we are still seeing the cumulative impact of continued protest, increasing tensions, and rising hate crime.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;That fear and anxiety is particularly felt by our Jewish and Muslim communities. We know a lot more about the cumulative impact of these protests than we did seven weeks ago and that is reflected in our approach.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/24\/15\/78202861-12787879-image-a-42_1700840662366.jpg\" height=\"395\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The Metropolitan Police said anyone taking part in the Palestine Solidarity Campaign demonstration on Saturday must not deviate from the route specified in this map<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The Met supports the right for people to make their voices heard through protest providing it is done lawfully. However, the law also protects people from racist and religious abuse and prohibits the promotion of terrorism.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>He added that the majority of protesters have complied with the rules in place, but a &#8216;minority have crossed the line&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Adelekan continued: &#8216;We&#8217;ve been working positively with organisers, including the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), to ensure everyone taking part in protests clearly understands our expectations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We are very pleased that the PSC have brought in extra stewards and that they&#8217;ve agreed to be clear in their communications about how supporters must behave.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The public will see further communication from us this weekend both online and in the form of leaflets, which our officers will share with protesters along the march route.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;As you would expect, this sets out that anyone who is racist or incites hatred against any group should expect to be arrested. As should anyone who supports Hamas or any other banned organisation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We will not tolerate anyone who celebrates or promote acts of terrorism \u2013 such as the killing or kidnap of innocent people \u2013 or who spreads hate speech.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I hope that those planning to attend protests this weekend will reflect on this and that the vast majority of those who are law abiding will help us by holding their fellow protestors to account.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/24\/15\/78202859-12787879-image-a-43_1700840664759.jpg\" height=\"842\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The Met Police also said those involved in the Palestine Solidarity Campaign demonstration must not enter the area around the Israeli Embassy, which has been specified in this map<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/24\/15\/78202863-12787879-image-a-44_1700840668013.jpg\" height=\"856\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Those involved in the Hizb-ut-Tahrir demonstration outside the Egyptian Embassy in South Street in London&#8217;s Mayfair must remain in the area shaded in red in this map, the Met said<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;If they see behaviour that has crossed the line into criminality we ask them to challenge it and to report it immediately to one of the many officers present.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;In a huge march, officers cannot see everything that is going on, but others do, and if they report it we will act quickly.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>London Mayor Sadiq Khan also said in a statement: &#8216;This weekend more marches are planned across the capital.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The freedom to protest and express passionate views is a key part of a democracy, and I know the vast majority of people will protest peacefully and respectfully.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;There is absolutely no place in our city for spreading hate and fear. I am in close contact with the police, who will take action against hate crime &#8211; violence and disorder will not be tolerated.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;One of the things that makes London so great is the way we respect each other. Our diversity enriches us as a city. Every single one of us should be free to be who we are without fear or intimidation &#8211; we will never accept those spreading hate and division.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12788237\/That-stop-Met-unveils-unusual-plan-hand-LEAFLETS-protest-phrases-break-law-chanted-displayed-pro-Palestinian-marches.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That will stop them!
