A 30-day ban on protest marches goes into force on Friday in five ‘troubled’ boroughs of London.
The Metropolitan Police Service obtained on August 26 the consent of the Home Secretary to prohibit protest marches in the boroughs of Tower Hamlets, Newham, Waltham Forest, Islington, and Hackney starting September 2.
All five boroughs were in the heart of violent riots and looting that hit London and several other British cities on August 6-10, leaving over 100 police officers injured.
The disturbances were triggered by the shooting dead of London resident and suspected drug dealer Mark Duggan. More than 1,600 people were detained during the ensuing rioting.

The 30 day ban is specifically aimed at EDL, the Israeli financed front, to march into poor neighbourhood largely consisting of British Muslims and people of colour.
In the UK we had more than a century of sectarian strife in Northern Ireland with many people dead. Israel, as part of its foriegn policy to socially reingineer Europe, is activating and financing race hate groups and neonazis to go after Muslims and ethnic minorities.
