Britain’s Conservative Home Secretary Suella Braverman has accused her own police of tolerating lawbreaking during pro-Palestinian demonstrations.
In an op-ed in London’s Times newspaper (Thursday), Braverman wrote that police ignored lawbreaking by “pro-Palestinian gangs” as they cracked down on right-wing and nationalist protesters.
“Double Standards”
“I have spoken with current and former police officers who have observed these double standards,” she wrote. The right-wing politician also acknowledged an earlier statement in which she had summarily condemned pro-Palestinian demonstrations as “hate marches.”
The background to the criticism is Scotland Yard chief Mark Rowley’s refusal to request a ban on a pro-Palestinian protest planned for Saturday in London. Braverman’s husband is Jewish.
“Got out of hand”
Meanwhile, Braverman also came under heavy criticism for her accusations against police. The opposition Labor party called for her expulsion. Spokeswoman Yvette Cooper called Braverman “out of control.”
