Met Police Proscription Flyer
Collected: November 2023
Location: Marble Arch, London
Produced by: The Metropolitan Police
Two double-sided flyers handed out by Met Police officers to participants in a PSC National March for Palestine. Subtle differences of design and wording between the two.
They warn against using “words or images” that “incite hatred”, “support banned organisations” or “promote acts of terrorism.” These followed a handful of arrests at previous PSC marches of people allegedly displaying placards or clothing that could be interpreted as support for Hamas or other terror organisations. Interestingly, the flyers also warn against damage to statues and monuments, something that PSC marches had no track record of.
