Supporters cheer Holocaust survivor questioned by police over Gaza protest

Protesters gathered on Friday outside a London police station in support of an 87-year-old Holocaust survivor questioned as part of an investigation into alleged public order offences during a pro-Palestine demonstration.

Walking up the gentle slope from the Strand with the aid of a stick and wearing a grey overcoat, a green scarf and a flat cap, Stephen Kapos smiled and waved as he passed through cheering supporters and up the steps into Charing Cross Police Station at 2.40 pm.

Supporters waved Palestinian flags and chanted, “Stop bombing Gaza, we have the right to protest.”
