Counter-terrorism police have released pictures of four people they would like to speak to in relation to alleged incidents at a pro-Palestine rally in Whitehall on October 14.
Social media footage shot on the day appears to show two women with images of paragliders on their tops, which could be a reference to their use by Hamas terrorists to get into Israel prior their murderous spree on October 7, which has resulted in the deaths of at least 1,400 Israelis.
Detectives have been working to identify the two and are now seeking to identify a third woman that is seen on CCTV with them, who is carrying a placard apparently with the paraglider image attached to it.
Police have now released new and clearer images of all three women they we seek the public’s help.
The first is wearing light brown trousers and a long-sleeved red top with an image of a paraglider on the back.
She initially had a blue denim jacket tied around her waist and later put this on over her red top.
She is wearing a light blue medical face mask and a dark scarf or bandana around her head and has a dark red shoulder bag.
The second woman has dark hair clipped up at the back of her head. She is wearing black leggings, black boots and has a large black shoulder bag.
She initially wore a dark hooded top – with a paraglider image attached to the back – and later put on a light brown coat.
The third woman is holding the placard with the paraglider image on the post, appears to be aged in her 20s to 40s.
She is wearing a large pendant which police believe is green, a dark scarf with a floral pattern on it, a red jacket and red scarf or bandana around her head.
Police are also seeking to identify a man seen waving a placard with the words “I fully support Hamas” on it during a protest on Bond Street a week later, on Saturday, October 21.
He has short dark hair, light skin and is wearing a dark jacket with a light top underneath, a light striped scarf around his neck, and light trousers or jeans.
Commander Dominic Murphy, head of the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command, said: “Detectives have carried out numerous enquiries to identify these people and we are now asking the public to take a good look at these images and tell us if they know who these people are.
“I would stress that we want to speak to these people to help us with our enquiries, and in fact, I would urge them to get in touch with us directly.”
The public is being urged to take a look at these pictures and if they recognise the people or have any information which could help the investigation, to report it in confidence online at gov.uk/ACT or by calling 0800 789 321.
