London’s Metropolitan Police warn students taking part in a pro-Palestine march on the October 7 anniversary that they could be arrested if they conceal their identity with face coverings, leave the agreed route, or do not disperse when directed.
According to reports, the march is planned to start at King’s College London on the Strand and end at University College London in Russell Square, Holborn. One outlet says the police warning includes an emphasis on compliance at a specified dispersal time, while another frames the message around the risk of arrest if participants wear face coverings. The coverage focuses on the police conditions and planned movement of the demonstration, rather than on specific political demands.
No source provides details on whether any arrests occur, but all describe the same police guidance ahead of the event and the basic route between the two university locations.
