Forty-three people were arrested on Saturday during a major public order operation in central London involving more than 4,000 police, the Metropolitan Police announced, reports Anadolu.<\/p>\n

The operation was designed to create a “sterile zone” between two opposing demonstrations: a rally organized by Islamophobic activist Tommy Robinson and a pro-Palestinian protest.<\/p>\n

According to the police, 20 of those arrested were linked to the “Unite the Kingdom” protest, 12 to the “Nakba” protest, while another 11 were not linked to either group or could not be identified.<\/p>\n

Police said 11 of the arrests were related to hate crimes. Of these, two are related to the Nakba protest and nine to Unite the Kingdom. According to police, the offenses involved suspected motives related to race, religion, sexuality and disability.<\/p>\n

Seven other hate crime-related cases remain under investigation, with suspects yet to be identified. The Metropolitan Police said the cases were all related to the Nakba protest.<\/p>\n

Three of the arrests were made using real-time facial recognition technology. The people in question were wanted for failure to appear in court, and the police said that none of them were connected to the protests.<\/p>\n
