The Met has imposed Public Order Act conditions on a protest organised by the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) that was due to take place in Whitechapel next Saturday 31 January.
The conditions prevent anyone taking part in the UKIP protest gathering in the London borough of Tower Hamlets. They have been imposed to prevent serious disorder and serious disruption. Breaching the conditions, or encouraging others to do so, is an arrestable offence.
It is the second time that UKIP has proposed an assembly in Whitechapel in recent months. Conditions were also imposed on the previous effort in October, resulting in the protest being moved to central London.
