The Metropolitan Police said no offences were identified in a video of a Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain protest showing people chanting ‘Jihad’.
The Metropolitan Police's decision not to act over protesters chanting "Jihad" will be questioned by the government, a minister has said, saying behaviour displayed in a social media video was “inciting terrorist violence”.
A video posted on social media shows a man speaking into a microphone in front of a banner reading “Muslim Armies! Rescue the People of Palestine”, with the name of the group “Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain” on it. Other clips posted on social media from the same protest show speakers using the microphone to speak about a “solution” of “Jihad”.Mr Jenrick was asked about the incident and wider concerns around protests related to the Israel-Hamas conflict on Sky’s Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips.
Protesters attended a a pro-Palestine march organised by the Stop the War Coalition and Palestine Solidarity Campaign in central London“The Met’s investigations are ongoing, and I remain in close contact with the Met Commissioner. “They have reviewed a video from the Hizb ut-Tahrir protest in which a man can be seen to chant ‘Jihad, jihad’.
“Specialist officers have assessed the video and have not identified any offences arising from the specific clip. We have also sought advice from specialist Crown Prosecution Service lawyers, who have reached the same conclusion.
