12 arrests after activists demanding Israel arms embargo spray Labour HQ
Demonstrators from the Youth Demand group insisted both the Government and Opposition should commit to blocking the supply of weapons to the country.
Twelve people have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage after activists calling for an arms embargo on Israel sprayed Labour’s headquarters with red paint.
Demonstrators from the Youth Demand group insisted both the Government and Opposition should commit to preventing the supply of weapons to the country as they targeted the party’s offices in central London.
The Government has come under increased pressure in recent days to publish the advice it has been given following an attack which killed seven aid workers in Gaza, including three Britons.
Scotland Yard said officers were called to an incident in Rushworth Street at 2.18pm and arrived within two minutes, arresting 12 people on suspicion of criminal damage.
Labour declined to comment.
