Pro-Palestine groups vow to continue Gaza ceasefire marches despite government hysteria over chants
-
Pro-Palestinian groups say they will continue to hold marches calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza until there is a permanent ceasefire agreed.
-
The groups accused some MPs and the government of anti-Muslim "hysteria" and of provoking "heavy-handed" policing of "peaceful protests".
-
They defended protesters' right to chant "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free", saying it calls for an end to Israel's occupation, not destruction of Israel.
-
The government is considering increasing the notice period for protests following a recommendation by a committee of MPs.
-
March organizers plan to meet the Assistant Commissioner of the Met Police to raise concerns ahead of further planned protests.
