@metpoliceuk“It’s a legal right in the UK to criticise the government’s decision to ban a group and to call for de-proscription.
The MPS [Metropolitan Police Service] acknowledged this in its internal guidance from last July, the same document which says that holding a sign calling for de-proscription alone does not suggest membership of a proscribed organisation and that individuals have to actively express support for a proscribed group for this to be an offence.
The force has nevertheless repeatedly prevented protesters from exercising these rights, although it’s unclear just how many have been arrested for this”
Met police failed to follow internal guidelines on policing Palestine protests
Internal guidances also show the force cracking down on Arabic words in a way that ‘smacks’ of racism, say pro-Palestinian advocates
