Pro-Palestine coalition condemns Starmer for suggesting ban on marches

On Friday, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Stop the War Coalition, and allied groups condemned British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's suggestion that pro-Palestine marches could be banned, following his Saturday BBC interview in which he cited chants like "globalise the intifada" and called for examining "cumulative effects" of repeated demonstrations. The coalition confirmed a Nakba Day march will proceed in London on 16 May, asserting that the right to protest is fundamental and rejecting what they characterized as false conflation of pro-Palestine activism with antisemitism.
