Five arrested after protest outside Board of Deputies office

The Metropolitan Police say five people were arrested following what they described as a spontaneous protest outside the office of the Board of Deputies, a Jewish organisation. The arrests were linked to an allegation of inciting racial hatred.

Five people have been arrested following a protest outside the office of the Board of Deputies, according to the Metropolitan Police.

The force described the demonstration as a “spontaneous protest” and said the arrests were made in connection with alleged incitement of racial hatred. The Board of Deputies is a Jewish organisation.

No further details about the circumstances of the protest, the identities of those arrested or any potential charges were provided in the available information.

The latest position is that the five people remain subject to the police process. An arrest does not itself establish that an offence has been committed, and any further action would depend on the outcome of the Metropolitan Police investigation.
