by Scotland Yard was accused of “two-stage” justice after the police ignored a propalestinian demonstrator who was dressed as a Holocaust concentration camp.
Jewish leader and MP criticized the “religiously incravated” outfit carried by Maria Gallastegui, in which she replaced the star carried by occupants with an Islamic symbol.
However, they complained that the police did not stand out any protest of “clearly causing trouble”, warned the men on a Palestine campaign that they may have been guilty of violating peace.
Ms. Gallastegui, 66, a full-time demonstrator who gave up her job as a coaching driver for an activity life almost 20 years ago, took a protest against plans to ban Palestine actions after his activists had attacked RAF aircraft with color.
Critics compared their treatment with that of Hamit Coskun, which was pursued by criminal law and was committed to a religiously tightened crime of public order after set a fire in London after he had set up a Koran outside the Turkish consulate.
Proponents of freedom of speech argue that offensive behavior should not be criminalized, regardless of whether demonstrators against Islam like Mr. Coskun or against Israel are committed.
Robert Jenrick, the secretary of the shadow justice, said: “We seem to have a two -stage blasphemy network in this country that protects Islam from offensive references, but not others.”
Alex Hearn von contractions against anti -Semitism said: “Attachment as inmates as the concentration camp, with the yellow spot being replaced by an Islamic symbol, has angered many people.
“This religiously founded performance has acquired and distorted the Holocaust and was clearly determined to cause stress. It is shocking that the police, while the police are quickly public openness, remained unchallenged at the center of our democracy.”
Sir Mark Rowley, the Metropolitan police officer, wrote the work against anti-Semitism, who asked him to investigate the incident as potentially religiously aggravated crime that “appropriated and distorted the Holocaust” and “trivialized the suffering of six million Jews and other victims of the Nazi persecution”.
Ms. Gallastegui has been arrested in the past two decades in the past few times, even during a protest against the law to protest in parliamentary place in August 2005.
Previously, she lived in a tent on the parliamentary site for six years after she had joined the campaign against suggestions to change the law to restrict the protests from the Commons and Lords.
In 2021, she lived and slept in a 150-year-old tree in Hackney to challenge the “ruthless” and “irresponsible” plans of the council to make room for a 600-house development.
“We are passionate people,” she said at the time of the BBC. “Every campaign that we can imagine does not start overnight. There are many underlying problems with which the system does not have to do.”
As a supporter of Julian Assange, the co -founder of Wikileaks, Ms. Gallastegui, it was forbidden to go from Belmarsh prison within 100 meters after damaging a wall in a false break in prison while being held in prison.
Ms. Gallastegui used an exercise against a wall in which Assange was held during his long struggle to avoid delivery to the USA, alongside a sign with the inscription “Jailbreak in processing”. “Priti Patel Save Julian Assange” was also sprayed on the wall.
Previously, she appeared in a protest against Kniencap, the Irish Republican Rap Group, after one of the bands were charged with a terrorist offensive to support the Hamas, which is banned as a group of terrorists in Great Britain due to a terrorist offensive.
In the case of protest on Monday, she was presented with a poster with the inscription “We are all Palestine actions”, a message that could lead to criminal measures as soon as the group is prohibited.
Anyone who is a member of the Palestine’s action could have up to 14 years in prison as soon as his ban is issued in the next fourteen days.
A Jewish observer said: “You can’t help but come to the conclusion that if the police do not stand against this hatred with us, then stand with those who hate us. There is no middle ground when it comes to abusing the memory of the Holocaust. It is carried out as a conscious act of provocation and religious division.”
Ms. Gallastegui made an explanation and said: “The concentration camp of Bergen-Belsen was freed from the British army in 1945 after the Second World War. The world was shocked and horrified by the horrific sight of the hungry, emaciated prisoner and the pile of decayed body in their stripped uniforms.
“After that, the international community confirmed that it never allowed this again.
“This is a history hour for the time being, and it should by no means be anti -Semitic. Change the symbols of the yellow star into the crescent and star simply means illustrating this point.”
The Metropolitan Police was addressed for a comment.
