Two major police forces in the country have announced plans to arrest protesters who chant 'globalise the intifada', a move that has sparked accusations of political repression from campaigners supporting Palestinian rights. The decision, made by the heads of Greater Manchester Police and the Metropolitan Police, is intended to deter intimidation and follows recent violent incidents, including the Bondi Beach mass shooting. Jewish groups have welcomed the tougher stance, arguing that such chants incite hatred and violence, while pro-Palestinian activists and human rights groups warn it threatens the right to protest and could have a chilling effect on free expression. Prosecutors have stated that each case will be considered individually, and the country's human rights regulator will monitor how the new policy is enforced.
