Overview
- Abdallah Alanzi, 24, Haya Adam, 21, and Azza Zaki, 60, each face one count under the Public Order Act alleging use of threatening or insulting words intended to stir up racial hatred.
- The trio were arrested on 17 December outside the Ministry of Justice in Westminster after officers intervened over chants calling for an intifada.
- The Metropolitan Police say the charges reflect the totality of chanting heard that evening rather than a single phrase.
- All three are due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 23 February, while a 17-year-old arrested the same night will face no further action.
- The case follows police leaders’ move to a more assertive stance on protest slogans after the Bondi Beach attack, with some media describing the prosecution as a possible first of its kind.
