A small group of pro-Palestinians activists have mounted a protest outside an Israeli cosmetics shop in central London.

Five protesters from London Palestine Action, holding placards and wearing boiler suits, stood outside Sabon in Covent Garden and chanted at passers-by for around an hour.

Staff had closed the shop early on Thursday before the demonstrators arrived, at the request of Sabon’s Tel Aviv office.

The JC understands that anti-boycott communal groups were asked by the shop’s owners not to counter-protest.
