The march began at Embankment and ended at Whitehall. Organizers and participants said the mobilization was aimed at condemning Israeli military aggression and the support provided by Western governments, particularly the U.K. and the U.S.
Eyewitnesses told Iran Press that police imposed restrictions on the demonstration, limiting participants’ movement in the area. They also alleged that police arrested Palestine supporters on false accusations and used violence against demonstrators.
Protesters and activists voiced concern over restrictions on pro-Palestinian demonstrations in the U.K., questioning whether the authorities were applying the law consistently. They warned that such measures could undermine freedom of expression and the right to peaceful assembly.
Reza Kazim of the Islamic Human Rights Commission said the demonstration aimed to highlight the Palestinian cause and expose the role of Western governments. He expressed solidarity with the people of Gaza and paid tribute to their sacrifices.
A Christian resident of London also joined the march, expressing solidarity with Christians in Gaza and calling on the British government to stop arming Israel and take action to end the genocide in the Palestinian territory.
The London demonstration formed part of a global day of action for Palestine, with rallies held in dozens of countries calling for an end to Israeli military aggression, an end to the genocide in Gaza, and a boycott of Israel.
