Holocaust survivors denounce UK police for questioning Stephen Kapos

Forty Holocaust survivors and their descendants have signed a letter denouncing the Metropolitan Police for calling in Stephen Kapos, 87, for questioning about a pro-Palestine protest in London on 18 January. 

Kapos is a survivor of the Holocaust who was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1937. He has regularly attended marches in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza since Israel's war on the territory began. 

Earlier this month, the Met police handed out letters to a number of prominent activists, calling them in for questioning over their alleged roles in the march in late January. 

They include Kapos, actor Khalid Abdalla, and officers from the Stop the War Coalition, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmement and Friends of al-Aqsa. 

A protest will take place outside Charing Cross police station at 2pm on Friday, when Kapos is due to be interviewed.
