pro-<a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/palestine" target="_blank">Palestine</a> rally on Saturday in central London after imposing restrictions banning protesters from marching towards the headquarters of the BBC.</p> <p>The police said it had made 77 arrests during Saturday’s protest, which organisers said attracted 100,000 people. </p> <p>Among those was Chris Nineham, the vice-chair of the Stop the War Coalition, who served as the chief steward for the national protest for Palestine.</p> <p>Footage taken by Middle East Eye showed police officers in riot gear surrounding Nineham and bundling him into the back of a police van after they let a small group of protestors leave Whitehall and lay down flowers in Trafalgar Square to commemorate the deaths of Palestinian children.</p> <p>The key restriction imposed by the police include a ban on beginning the march outside the BBC, citing concerns of its proximity to a synagogue. </p> <p>On Saturday, protest organisers said coalition leaders, several speakers, and members of the Jewish bloc would walk silently towards the BBC. </p> <p>The plan was to lay flowers as a symbolic gesture to condemn what they described as the BBC's complicity in its Gaza coverage. </p> <p>Organisers denied claims made by the Met that protestors had forced their way through a police cordon to march towards the BBC after ending their protest in Whitehall.</p> <p>The Met said it was launching an investigation and claimed there was a "coordinated effort led by the protest organisers to march out of Whitehall in a clear breach of the conditions".</p> <p>“There is video footage of one of the organisers clearly inciting the crowd to join a march and one of the organisations involved has released a statement this evening confirming as much," said Commander Adam Slonecki, who led the policing operation. </p> <h3>READ MORE HERE: <a
