 London police officers moved on pro-Palestinian protesters from a central London square on Saturday night November 11, after more than 300,000 people marched through the UK capital calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, police stopped and searched some protesters, while others were allowed to leave the area. Some wore the traditional Palestinian headscarf known as a kafia and draped Palestinian flags over their shoulders. Some covered their faces, police said there had been several hundred counter-protestors on the streets of central London, and skirmishes broke out near the Cenotaph War Memorial early on as scuffles also broke out between police and pro-Palestinian protesters. Police said on X, formerly Twitter, that demonstrators had worn face masks and fired fireworks, and had been detained and searched, police said more than 300,000 had joined the pro-Palestinian rally, while organizers put the figure at 800,000. You don't want to try and go like that.
