Unauthorised demonstration outside Downing Street, London, against Israeli attack on Jericho prison in Palestine.

Members of Palestine Solidarity Campaign, playwright Alistair Beaton and Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn all breached the SOCPA exclusion zone in protest of the UK and US governments alleged complicity to the attack by Israeli troops on Jericho prison.

The UK and US both pulled out their prison monitor staff just hours before the raid which saw two Palestinian police killed and 26 injured in the largest Israeli assault into Palestine for months, if not years.

The demonstration was small, the police presence heavy, especially on independent media cameramen. But that is just becoming the normal routine of things in these strange and unnerving days.
