Met officers have arrested two women on suspicion of inciting racial hatred during a protest in Trafalgar Square. The women were identified after a video of them leading a chant about the Battle of Khaybar, which has been associated with anti-Semitic hatred, was shared on social media. The arrests come after criticism of the police for not taking action against individuals calling for jihad and displaying signs referring to Muslim armies.
Met officers have made around 100 arrests since the protests began three weeks ago, many of them for public order offences and assaulting emergency workers.A video was shared on social media yesterday of two women leading a chant about the Battle of Khaybar in 628, when Jews were killed by an Islamic army in 628, in the land that is now Saudi Arabia.Police had asked for help with identifying two women after being made aware of the chant, and said on Sunday that they had arrested them.
Last week's protest sparked concern when a Hizb ut-Tahrir grouping called for jihad - but police said they weren't going to make arrests because the word has different meanings in Arabic. This week's protest saw people demanding 'intifada', an apparent reference to Palestinian armed uprisings against Israel. Sir Mark said that the laws needed updating to tackle extremists.
