Aisha Jung, 53, from south London, was with her husband and two of her sons, aged 10 and 11, when police arrested her at the November 2023 demonstration in Trafalgar Square, central London, telling her that the sign could be considered offensive. When police surrounded her and asked her to put the sign down she asked them what legislation they were relying on. She said she was told officers were finding out the answer, but was not given an explanation

The officers have noted in their statement that they believe that because the Star of David was out and present to people, which may take either offence to the presence of it, they felt that was antagonising the situation, the detective says. I think that's, with respect, appalling and shows a complete ignorance on behalf of those officers, the lawyer responds.

"provocative and taunting"
