"Protesters 'will not be intimidated by the state' says speaker at London march
A speaker at a march in London said student protesters “will not be intimidated by the state” after the Prime Minister criticised pro-Palestine demonstrations planned for October 7.
Speaking to more than 100 protesters gathered near SOAS University in Bloomsbury, expelled student Haya Adam said: “Keir Starmer has urged students not to protest today but we are here today.
“We have successfully marched all the way from KCL to SOAS.
“We will not be intimidated by the state or afraid by their oppression.”
Ms Adam, who previously studied international relations and law at SOAS, added that the Prime Minister and the Labour Government were funding destruction in Gaza.
“It’s our responsibility to march today because it’s been over two years, two years and 77 years of an ongoing nakba, of continuous forced starvation, massacres against our Palestinian brothers and sisters,” she said."
