In a series of incidents in London, the Metropolitan Police have been criticized for their handling of protests involving @GhorbaniiNiyak, an individual who displayed signs stating 'Hamas are Terrorists' and carried a St George's flag. The police arrested GhorbaniiNiyak multiple times and banned him from entering the boroughs of Camden and Westminster. In one instance, they were also accused of inaction when a Hamas supporter spat at a counter-protester in their presence, with an officer responding 'yes I saw it, go away'. The police's actions, including the confiscation and careless disposal of GhorbaniiNiyak's personal items, have sparked controversy and accusations of bias.
The @metpoliceuk arrested Iranian @GhorbaniiNiyak yet again, not for carrying his "Hamas is terrorist" sign, but this time for carrying a St George's flag. His bail conditions exclude him from entering the Boroughs of Camden & Westminster. https://t.co/pueUKnqGAj
Yesterday London Police arrested @GhorbaniiNiyak again (for saying “Hamas are terrorists”), removed his bagpack containing personal items, and just casually threw it out on the street 👇 Shame on you @metpoliceuk! https://t.co/TPfVexlXrT
London Police continuing to harass @GhorbaniiNiyak and now restricted his movement because of his signs saying “Hamas are Terrorists”. Shame on you @metpoliceuk, you have become the defenders of an officially designated terrorist organization! https://t.co/wQMd18zjVn
.@metpoliceuk has banned @GhorbaniiNiyak from two boroughs in London. His offense? Showing a sign saying “Hamas are Terrorists” The reason for the ban? “To prevent further offences” 👇 Shame on you @metpoliceuk! https://t.co/44Oi4cABA6
Shocking moment man spits towards pro-Israel counter-protesters right in front of police - who then go on and do nothing, with officer telling furious passersby 'yes I saw it, go away' https://t.co/BLzU7lDVR0 https://t.co/C5pDzmLQX5
Hamas supporter in London spits at a counter-protestor in front of the @metpoliceuk. The Met stand there and do nothing. #TwoTier https://t.co/D4r73bXZL1
Met Police once again arrest @GhorbaniiNiyak for holding a ‘Hamas is terrorist’ sign. Rather than arrest the Palestinian supporters who threaten him. The Hamas supporters cheer as the Met continue to do their work for them. #TwoTier https://t.co/cjXOH1KP3t
