75 imagesOn the day before the beginning of the ceasefire in Gaza tens of thousands of pro-Palestine people protested against the ongoing war in Gaza and Israel’s involvement in the West Bank and the continued arming of Israel by the British Government on the 18th of January 2025, Central London, United Kingdom. The police had reneged on a previous arrangement for the protest to march from the BBC HQ to Whitehall under the pretext of safety concerns for a nearby synagogue to the BBC HQ and had only allowed the protest to be a standing demonstration in Whitehall. More than 20 pro-Palestine marches have taken place the past 15 months of war without any trouble and hardly any policing needed. This demonstration, the day before the ceasefire began, saw an unprecedented number of police deployed and the demonstration ended with hundreds of people stuck in Trafalgar Square after police let them leave Whitehall through a ‘filtered cordon’ and enter the square. A large number of peaceful demonstrators were arrested, some violently, including Chris Nineham of the Stop the War Coalition. A number of peaceful protesters were kettled within the square and all were arrested.

The vigil included speeches by UK health workers concerned by Israel’s destruction of Gaza hospitals and the killings of medical staff and patients.

Several people were killed by Israeli forces in the process and patients were forced to evacuate to another barely functioning hospital, also part destroyed by Israeli forces.

70 imagesTens of thousands took to the streets in the National March for Palestine on the 3rd of August 2024, London, United Kingdom. The march was a call to tell the newly elected Prime Minister Keir Starmer to stop arming Israel, to put pressure on Israel to make them stop their onslaught on Gaza and to call for a lasting ceasefire. It is almost ten months since Hamas attacked Israel, killing 1200 people and taking 240 people hostages and since then Israel has killed almost 40.000 Palestinians, mostly women and children. Israel has also taken thousands of Palestinians into custody, most without trial or charges and held indefinitely under highly critical conditions.

23 imagesHackney Divestment Camp. Portrait of a protest. The activists behind the Hackney Divestment Camp demand that Hackney council ‘stop investing in Israel’s "genocide and war crimes”’ and that they break their twin town relationship with Haifa in Israel and that they twin with Palestine instead. The encampment was set up on the night of the 9th of May 2024, similarly to encampments at universities across the UK, after more than 7 months of war between Israel and Hamas, a war where Hamas has killed 1200 people, most in Israel, and where Israel in response has killed more than 37.000 and wounded more than 85.000 people including tens of thousands of women and children, most in Gaza, and is keeping Gaza under a brutal siege. Portraits of a protest - Hackney Divestment Encampment 2024 The people in the portraits were asked to write a message of their own choosing and in their own words, only request was that it had to relate to the ongoing war in Gaza.
