Police Removed Anti-Hamas Protester because He Was Trying To Provoke

The Metropolitan Police have said they forcibly removed an anti-Hamas protester from a pro-Palestine march 'because he was trying to provoke' those taking part in the demonstration by holding a sign calling jihadi group 'terrorists'.

There was fury yesterday when videos emerged online of the force removing Niyak Ghorbani from Saturday's march in London after he was attacked. 

Mr Ghorbani had bottles, soil and other objects thrown at him by angry protesters after holding up a sign calling Hamas a 'terrorist organisation'.

In the shocking footage shared online, a pro-Palestine protester even tried to hit him with a plank of wood.  

After more footage showed Mr Ghorbani being led away by two police officers, he claimed he was threatened with being arrested if he continued protesting. 

Now, the Met Police have said they carried out a review of the incident which found Mr Ghobani 'was there to provoke a reaction from the passing crowd'.
