flag London police will use the Thames to separate pro-Palestinian and counterprotesters, banning a march due to security concerns.

flag London police will use the River Thames as a physical barrier to separate pro-Palestinian al-Quds Day demonstrators from counterprotesters on Sunday, marking the first time the tactic has been used. flag The Metropolitan Police secured a ban on the planned march from the Home Secretary due to concerns over public disorder, intelligence gaps, and ties to the Iranian regime. flag The protest will be limited to a static event on the Albert Embankment between 1pm and 3pm, while counterprotests are restricted to Millbank. flag Over 1,000 officers, including marine units, will be deployed to manage the event, which could draw up to 12,000 people. flag Authorities stress the measure is a one-off response to heightened tensions and not a precedent, aiming to balance public safety with the right to peaceful protest.
