Corbyn, McDonnell face police questioning after London protest

Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and former shadow chancellor John McDonnell were interviewed under caution by the Metropolitan Police following a pro-Palestine rally in London that resulted in 77 arrests. The police accused demonstrators of breaching conditions set for the protest organized by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), which had been altered to a static rally due to security concerns. Corbyn and McDonnell, both denying any wrongdoing, stated they were participating peacefully to commemorate victims in Gaza. The PSC has countered the police's narrative, asserting that demonstrators did not force their way through police lines as claimed. Ten individuals, including prominent activists, have been charged with public order offences, and many remain in custody. The police continue to investigate the events, citing potential criminality among protest organizers.
