Seven individuals have been charged with a range of offences after yesterday’s pro-Palestine march through London which saw police arrest around 145 people.
The charges reportedly relate to offences including inciting racial hatred, possession of drugs, possession of weapons, criminal damage, assault, and public order.
The police said those charged were between the ages of 21 and 75, and that just one of those charged was from London.
In a statement, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor said they had no doubt “there will be more to follow” following a day of chaos in central London.
Mr Taylor said: “Public order policing doesn’t end when demonstrators go home.
“We have teams of officers who continue to build cases against those in custody and launch investigations into those who come to our attention when images and videos are shared on social media.
“Since the end of yesterday’s demonstration, we’ve published appeals in relation to six incidents and I have no doubt there will be more to follow. Our colleagues at the British Transport Police have published a further two appeals.
“We urge anyone who has information about the identity of suspects, or who has footage or photos of further potential offences, to get in touch so we can take the appropriate action.”
The Metropolitan Police added that they made around 91 arrests to try and prevent a breach of the peace, including “a significant number” of counter-protesters on Tachbrook Street.
