Extremist group - banned in many countries - holds rally in London as pro-Palestinians march

A group labelled as “Islamist extremists” in many countries, Hizb ut-Tahrir, held a static rally in Central London today (Nov 25). One speaker commented: “Don’t care about international law, care only for your duty to Allah”. The UK government is under pressure to proscribe Hizb ut-Tahrir, a movement that is banned in Russia, parts of Europe and much of the Middle East. On a previous demo, a protester made calls for jihad against Israel. In many countries, Hizb ut-Tahrir is regarded as holding anti-Semitic sentiments and supporting the idea of violent jihad, albeit not openly. Meanwhile, around 200,000 pro-Palestinians took part in another march. A heavy police presence, of 1,500 officers, saw off any serious incidents. In total there were 18 arrests as part of today’s public order policing operation. This video is being exclusively managed by Newsflare. Email licensing@ or visit to license this video.
