Protesters to march through London on Armistice Day, calling for an end to Israel’s bombing of Gaza
While the main march today will take place in London, it is not the only pro-Palestine event taking place in the UK.
In Scotland, activists are set to gather at a number of locations to call for a ceasefire in Gaza.
The focus of our rally will be on people killed in wars, including both world wars, with a renewed call to end all wars.
We will also call for an end to war crimes, including those currently being committed in occupied Palestine.
We are calling for an immediate ceasefire and with it concrete steps from the international community to bring lasting peace for Palestinians and Israelis.
This can only happen by respecting international law and by bringing an end to Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine.
An exclusion zone will be put in place using metal barriers covering Whitehall, Horse Guards Parade, the Westminster Abbey Field of Remembrance and other relevant areas, to prevent those on the march from entering the locations.
The Cenotaph will have a 24-hour police presence which will remain in place until the conclusion of Remembrance events on Sunday
The Met said the march and all speeches must end at 5pm, and a section 60 and 60AA power will be in place covering Westminster and parts of Wandsworth and Lambeth between 10am on Saturday and 1am on Sunday. This provides officers with additional powers to search anyone in the area for weapons, and requires people in the area to remove face coverings that are believed to be concealing their identity.
A dispersal zone will be in place covering key central London locations, including Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus.
Protests planned at a number of London train stations have been banned, with orders in place prohibiting trespassory assembly at Waterloo, Victoria and Charing Cross between 10am and 11pm on Saturday.
