Metropolitan Police Commissioner Mark Rowley stated that any decision to ban the upcoming Nakba March on May 16 is a matter for Parliament rather than the police. The march, organized by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, commemorates the 1948 displacement of Palestinians. Rowley told Nick Ferrari that the police would execute decisions made by Parliament regarding the legality of the event.
