Metropolitan police officers have arrested ten peaceful protesters at an anti-genocide demonstration in Euston, London – in at least one case violently.
Police violence in Euston
On Wednesday 22 April the Israel Institute of Technology was holding a fundraising event for Israel at the Shaw Theatre. As London for Palestine wrote on its Instagram, the institute “is deeply intertwined with Israel’s military industrial complex… [and] has been labelled ‘the university with the greatest ties to the Israeli military’”.
War criminal president Isaac Herzog – who incited genocide against the Palestinian people – made a speech via video call. Little wonder then that pro-Palestine, anti-Zionist activists held a protest outside.
The demo took place at Euston – and one of those arrested was Kamran Ahmed. Ahmed is a member of the Filton 24 only recently released after being held in prison for more than a year without trial – and being on hunger strike:

Three women were arrested after the demo finished, grabbed by police as they made their way peacefully home:

Ahmad asked supporters able to do so to make sure they attend Woolwich Crown Court tomorrow, 23 April 2026, where the retrial of Filton anti-genocide protesters will continue:

The arrests were without provocation and the policing turned ugly without warning. The flailing Starmer regime is still repressing humanitarian protest against war and genocide even as his always-awful tenure collapses.
