A man has been arrested over chants allegedly supporting Hamas during a protest in north London on Friday.
the 27-year-old was arrested on Friday after a video circulated online showing a man allegedly shouting through a megaphone at a pro-Palestine demonstration in Swiss Cottage.
The suspect, who remains in police custody, was first held on suspicion of inciting racial hatred andthen “further arrested” on Sunday on suspicion of inviting support for a proscribed organisation under the Terrorism Act 2000, the force said.
The UK government has designated Hamas as a terrorist organisation.
