London Far-Right and Pro-Palestine Protests Amid Heavy Security

Tens of thousands of people gathered in London on May 16 for concurrent far-right and pro-Palestine demonstrations, with 4,000 police officers deployed in what authorities described as one of the busiest operational days in recent years. The protests included a far-right rally organized by Tommy Robinson and a Nakba Day commemoration, with authorities using extensive resources to prevent clashes between groups.
