UK police arrest 3 at London rally for handing out flyers praising Oct. 7 onslaught

The Metropolitan Police of London say they have arrested three people for handing out leaflets praising the October 7 onslaught by Hamas, during a rally today against Israel’s ongoing military offensive against the Gaza-ruling terror group.

The flyer voices “unconditional and wholehearted support and solidarity for the Palestinian struggle, which is once more breaking out into armed resistance. As it was bound to do.”

“We communists join together with all progressive humanity in congratulating the Palestinian people and their chosen leadership on the audacious, daring and effective military action they are now taking against the last settler-colonial apartheid state, that monstrous proxy for Anglo-American imperialism, usurper of the Palestinian lands, rights and nationhood, zionist Israel,” it adds.

According to police, the three are suspected of showing support for a prescribed terror organization.

Officers have located the group distributing these leaflets.
