UK bans Al Quds Day march after Metropolitan Police request

Change
The UK government approved a Metropolitan Police request to ban the Al Quds Day march and any associated counter-protest marches in London from 16:00 on 11 March 2026 for one month to prevent serious public disorder.
UK bans Al Quds Day march after Metropolitan Police request
Why it matters
A moving public march along planned routes is now prohibited in London for the duration of the ban, limiting organisers to a static demonstration if they proceed. Police may impose strict conditions on any static protest and can use criminal enforcement against people who breach those conditions or spread hatred.
Implications
  • Islamic Human Rights Commission must convert the planned march into a static demonstration and comply with police conditions or face arrest and other enforcement actions.
  • Organisers of associated counter-protest marches in London must cancel or suspend planned marches because they are subject to the same ban and enforcement measures.
