Metropolitan Police officers threatened to arrest protesters displaying the flag of terrorist organisation Hezbollah at an anti-Balfour march in central London.
Organisers of the Make It Right For Palestine rally were overheard telling protesters at the start of Saturday’s demonstration in Grosvenor Square, Mayfair: “Please, no one fly the Hezbollah flag. We have promised the police that no one will fly a Hezbollah flag.”
The JC has been told that officers from the Metropolitan Police had earlier made it known that they would arrest anyone flying the Lebanese-based terror group’s flag, which features a raised fist clasping a machine gun.
The move by police seems to signal a change in policy over calls for action against displays of support for the group only a few weeks after Home Secretary Amber Rudd refused to comment on whether the group was “under consideration for proscription”.
