Met Police probing alleged HATE CRIMES at Nakba Day and Unite the Kingdom London protests

The Metropolitan Police is investigating alleged hate crimes at both major protests in London as officers are still searching for seven suspects from the pro-Palestine Nakba Day rally. About 60,000 people are estimated to have joined Tommy Robinson’s Unite the Kingdom march on Saturday, and between 15,000 and 20,000 attended the Nakba Day rally, the Met said. A total of 43 arrests were made, 20 were linked to the Unite the Kingdom protest, while 12 were affiliated with the Nakba protest, the force added. The remaining 11 arrests were not linked to either group, or their affiliation has not been confirmed, the Met said. About 4,000 police officers were on duty on Saturday. Four officers were assaulted on Saturday and six were subjected to hate crime offences, the force said in a post on X on Saturday evening. There were arrests for 11 hate crime related offences. Of those arrested two were allegedly affiliated to the Nakba Day rally and nine to Unite the Kingdom, police said. They included offences motivated by race, religion, sexuality and disability. A further seven hate crime offences remain under investigation with outstanding suspects. All are from the Nakba Day protest.
