Some speakers in pro-Palestine rallies may have broken the law by glorifying terrorism, the UK’s terrorism watchdog said.

The remarks made by Jonathan Hall, KC, came just before the Metropolitan Police deployed more than 1,000 officers on Saturday to police another pro-Palestinian demonstration in central London as the Israel-Hamas war entered the eighth day.
