Met Police Cuts Ties with Solicitor Over Controversial Pro-Palestine Chant
The Metropolitan Police have acted fast after a video surfaced showing Solicitor Attiq Malik, Chairman of the London Muslim Communities Forum (LMCF), allegedly chanting “From the River to the Sea” at a pro-Palestine rally. The phrase is widely viewed as calling for the elimination of the state of Israel, sparking serious unrest.
Met Police Condemn Malik’s Actions
The clip, first published by The Telegraph, prompted the Met to voice strong concerns. In a public statement, the force made it clear that Mr. Malik’s views do not reflect their values or principles. They stressed their ongoing commitment to engage with diverse community groups—but drew a firm line on unacceptable speech.
Immediate Termination and Investigation Launched
Given past issues over anti-Semitic language linked to Malik, the Met confirmed it has cut all ties with the solicitor pending a full investigation. Previously, Malik acted as a strategic adviser to the Met, helping shape policing policies and overseeing protest responses across London.
Met Police Vow Transparency and Accountability
The force insists this move shows their dedication to upholding core values and maintaining trust with the communities they serve. Authorities are now digging into all the facts behind the incident. Updates will follow as the probe unfolds.
