A counter-protester was arrested at a pro-Palestinian rally in London yesterday after carrying a sign that read “Hamas is a terrorist organization”. Niyak Ghorbani, an exiled Iranian activist, was wrestled to the ground by five police officers and handcuffed, according to videos on social media.
Ghorbani told The Daily Mail, “I think the police are totally wrong. It is a total double standard. It is one rule for the Palestinian protesters and another for me. It is hypocrisy.” He later posted on X that he was released without charges.
This is not the first time Ghorbani has faced repercussions for his anti-Hamas stance. He was attacked by a pro-Palestinian mob at a similar rally last month while holding a similar sign.
Police came under withering criticism for arresting Ghorbani, to which they made an official response on X. The platform’s Community Notes fact-checking feature quickly tore apart the police’s response, demonstrating once again that London has fallen to radical Islamists.

Out of all the previous lame headlines, this by far is the best and most accurate.
Well there you have it.
The 2 state solution.
And now there will be peace.
Let’s make this Guy into a hero..
He ought to sue the police department. They admitted they had no cause to arrest him.
Wow. No wonder some gedolim held England is the true Amalek. Cold and calculated Anti-Semitism.
Police said he was arrested for “breach of the peace” and to protect him during an ongoing altercation 🤔
Yeah, sounds about right. Very normal to arrest the victim being attacked by a gang. I guess someone being mugged in London is subject to arrest, for their own safety?
