East London address searched after man bailed following arrest for Hamas support.

A man has been bailed after being arrested on suspicion of supporting Hamas at a demonstration in central London earlier last week.

A 31-year-old man was arrested by officers on suspicion of displaying an banner supportive of a proscribed organisation (under Section 13 of the Terrorism Act 2000).

The arrest was made in the Whitehall area on Tuesday, 17 October, during a pro-Palestine demonstration.

He was later further arrested on suspicion of inviting support for a proscribed organisation (under Section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000).

The man was taken into custody at a London police station, and later bailed to a date in November.

As part of the investigation, being led by the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command, officers conducted searches at addresses in east London and in County Durham.

Enquiries are ongoing.
