UK: Palestinian groups to protest in London May 28

Event

Palestinian activists plan to demonstrate outside the headquarters of an Israeli-owned defense company in London from 13:00 May 28. Organizers are asking participants to bring water dyed red, red paint, or fake blood to pour down the street to protest Israeli military operations and arms trade between the UK and Israel. Hundreds of people participated in similar protests in recent weeks, and similar numbers are likely to turn out.

A heightened police presence and localized business and traffic disruptions are likely in the area. The gathering is likely to proceed peacefully, but isolated clashes with security forces are possible, particularly if demonstrators become disruptive.

Advice

Check for updates on protests and road conditions before traveling nearby. Confirm public transport schedules for disruptions and allow extra time for travel in the vicinity of the protest site. Follow all police instructions. Leave the area at the first sign of a confrontation.
