Police said no offences were identified in a video of a Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain protest showing a man chanting “Jihad”.
The Government will speak to the Metropolitan Police about its decision not to act over a video showing protesters chanting “Jihad” on the streets of London.
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.
He told LBC: “I think a lot of people would find the Metropolitan Police analysis surprising, and that’s something that we intend to raise with them and to discuss this incident with them.”The Met said in a statement on Saturday: “In addition to officers deployed with the protest, we have counter-terrorism officers with specialist language skills and subject expertise working alongside public order officers in our main operations room, assessing any video and photos that emerge.
