Silent Quaker meeting to be held outside Scotland Yard to protest against police raid
The famous spinning sign outside the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police, New Scotland Yard, in central London
A SILENT Quaker meeting will be held outside Scotland Yard on Thursday following the shock raid by police on Westminster Meeting House last week.
At least 20 officers broke into the central London venue last Thursday and arrested six people attending a talk by Youth Demand on climate change and peace in Gaza.
Police arrested the attendees, including a journalist and someone attending their first talk, on conspiracy to cause a public nuisance.
