Baroness Chakrabarti said the proscription of the group risks exacerbating community tensions and creating a ‘bigger headache for the police’

LONDON: British prime minister Keir Starmer faces mounting criticism after hundreds of people were detained during a demonstration in Parliament Square in London at the weekend…

The law that saw hundreds arrested for supporting the group on Saturday should be changed, Lord Sumption says

More than 500 people were arrested at the biggest demonstration since the group was proscribed a terrorist organisation

Baroness Chakrabarti urged the government to ‘think again’, warning that the ban on the group may lead to more people, not fewer, taking to the streets to support them
