Police reported 20 arrests as thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched through central London on Saturday, 10 October.
The Palestine Coalition demonstration gathered on the Embankment before travelling to Whitehall for a rally. Reporting by the Press Association described the march as largely peaceful, with some clashes when protesters climbed onto the Battle of Britain memorial.
Police report suspected offences
A Metropolitan Police update, reproduced by Radio NewsHub, listed six arrests on suspicion of criminal damage following the memorial incident and seven for alleged breaches of protest conditions. Two of the latter were also arrested for allegedly refusing to remove face coverings when directed.
Police also reported arresting a man and a woman over placards allegedly expressing support for the proscribed organisation Palestine Action.
Other reported grounds included public-order offences, an alleged assault on police and breach of the peace. One arrest concerned an alleged threat to kill relating to an incident on 1 October, rather than an offence alleged to have occurred during Saturday's march.
The figure of 20 comes from the police update reported on Saturday. Those arrested have not been convicted by virtue of their arrest, and the sources checked do not confirm criminal charges.
Restrictions on the march
The Met required participants to follow a route via Westminster Bridge, York Road, Waterloo Bridge and the Strand to Whitehall. Speeches and music had to finish by 5.30pm, with the assembly ending by 6.30pm.
Police also authorised powers under section 60AA of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. These allow officers to require removal of a face covering where they reasonably believe it is worn wholly or mainly to conceal identity.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Carl Galvin said officers should assess individual circumstances and act proportionately. Wearing a mask did not, by itself, mean everyone would be arrested.
Counter-demonstration held separately
About 30 Stop The Hate counter-protesters gathered outside New Scotland Yard, according to PA reporting. Officers and barriers separated the groups.
The Met said its aim was to protect lawful protest while limiting disruption to people living, working and visiting London.
