Three Additional Individuals Charged Over London's Pro-Palestinian Protest

Three Additional Individuals Charged Over London's Pro-Palestinian Protest

Charges include public order offences, assault, and obstruction related to a recent demonstration in central London.
London authorities have charged three additional individuals following a recent pro-Palestinian demonstration in central London that resulted in 77 arrests.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed the charges without disclosing the identities of two men, aged 73 and 75, who were released pending further investigations after voluntarily attending interviews at a central London police station.

Allegations by law enforcement suggest that certain participants attempted to breach conditions set for the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) protest by diverting from the planned route on Whitehall.

This claim has been denied by the organisers of the protest.

The latest charges include:


Benjamin Jamal, 61, a resident of Kingston upon Thames, who faces charges of public order offences, specifically for inciting others to disregard protest conditions.

He is scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on February 21.



Jamila Zadran, 32, from East Ham, east London, charged with assaulting an emergency worker.

Her court appearance is set for February 19.



Luke Jacobs, 22, of West Hampstead, north-west London, who is charged with obstructing a police officer and causing criminal damage.

His court date is February 17.


Benjamin Jamal, who serves as the director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign that organised the event, expressed his intent to contest the charges vigorously.

Additionally, the arrest of prominent figures such as MPs Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell, both independent members of Parliament who were present at the protest, has been reported.

The MPs declined to comment on potential police interviews.

In total, nine individuals have now been charged with public order offences linked to the rally, including Piers Corbyn, brother of Jeremy Corbyn, 77, from Elephant and Castle, south-east London.

Other individuals facing charges are Angela Zelter, 73, Tessa Roe-Stanton, 20, Starr Thomas, 20, Christian Adair, 23, all from Brockley; Monday Rosenfeld, 21, from Limehouse, east London; Matthew Brennan, 44, from St George, Bristol; David Ok, 40, from Kilburn, north-west London; and Christopher Nineham, 62, from Bow, east London.

The involved parties will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in the days ahead, according to police statements.

This follows a series of events amid heightened tensions and increased public demonstrations concerning Palestinian solidarity across the UK and globally.
