A pro-Palestine march planned for Armistice Day in London will go ahead, organizers said, despite pleas by politicians and police to postpone the demonstration over fears of disorder.
UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the Metropolitan Police had called on protesters to cancel the march scheduled for Nov. 11, when events are typically held to mark the end of World War I.
