Thousands expected at London protest calling for immediate ceasefire in Gaza

Fifth major pro-Palestine rally of the year comes after government adviser warns against portraying protesters as extremist

Thousands of protesters are expected to gather again in central London to call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the fifth major pro-Palestine demonstration in the capital so far this year.

Saturday’s protest comes a day after Dame Sara Khan, a UK government adviser on social cohesion, said attempts to portray protesters on pro-Palestinian marches as extremist were “outrageous” and dangerous.
