Met Police Deliver Tough Warning to Defiant Organiser
On Monday, January 4, police returned to the scene. They handed the organiser a notice, confirming she breached the Health Protection Regulations 2020 and has been referred for the stiffest penalty possible.
Acting Inspector Ganesh Rasaratnam said: “We are in the middle of a pandemic, and restrictions have been put in place to keep our families, friends and communities safe.
The organiser, and those who attended, deliberately breached the restrictions and decided that the rules did not apply to them.
We will continue to take tough action against those who think they are above the law and put others in danger with this sort of reckless behaviour.
Thankfully, many people across London have put much of their own lives on hold as they do their bit to follow the guidance and reduce Covid infections. The large majority have behaved admirably and should be proud of themselves for helping play their part as we all fight this health crisis.”
