UKIP's Whitechapel protest banned over fears of violence, despite claims of free speech violation.
A Ukip protest in Whitechapel, London, has been banned by the Metropolitan Police due to a "realistic prospect of serious disorder," citing public safety concerns, a large Muslim population, and potential violence amid expected counter-protests.
The demonstration, part of a "mass deportations tour" calling to "reclaim Whitechapel from the Islamists," is prohibited in Tower Hamlets but may be held elsewhere in London.
Ukip condemned the ban as a violation of free speech and accused police of biased enforcement, while Mayor Lutfur Rahman supported the decision, calling it necessary to protect community unity.
A separate peaceful march celebrating diversity is planned.
