As Skwawkbox reported, the Met Police kettled and violently arrested demonstrators at a peaceful protest in support of anti-genocide political prisoner Umer Khalid. Khalid is on hunger and thirst strike against the Starmer regime’s war on protest and free speech and its collaboration in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Doctors have said that Khalid could die within days. The anti-genocide movement is not prepared to stand by while Starmer and his genocide-enablers take opponents as political prisoners and enable Israel’s mass murder. But while the protest was certainly raucous, it was peaceful and non-violent. Police, acting as government enforcers, not servants of the public or defenders of law, arrested almost ninety peaceful protesters.
