Khalid Abdalla Summoned by Police Over Pro-Palestinian Rally

Khalid Abdalla, known for his role in The Crown, has been summoned for a police interview related to his participation in a pro-Palestine protest on January 18. He claims the right to protest is under threat in the UK and has expressed concerns about increasing censorship against pro-Palestinian voices. The Metropolitan Police confirmed that an investigation into alleged breaches of Public Order Act conditions is ongoing, with 77 arrests made at the rally, including several for breaching police-imposed conditions. Abdalla, along with others including Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos, received letters to attend formal interviews amid criticisms of police actions by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. The campaign and its supporters argue that the police's response misrepresents the peaceful nature of the protest. Abdalla has been vocally supporting Palestinian rights and advocating for a ceasefire in Gaza, emphasizing the importance of defending the right to protest.
