15:35Now PlayingThe Home Secretary has banned the Al Quds march in London which was scheduled for Sunday after a request from police.
London's police force asked Shabana Mahmood to ban the march over fears of serious disorder because of its links to Iran.
Massoud Shadjareh, Chair of the IHRC, who is one of the organisers the Al Quds march, joins Tom Swarbrick to discuss.
Ms Mahmood has given the ban the green light, marking the first time a demonstration has been banned in London since 2012.
Al-Quds Day is an annual event first held after the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979 to oppose Zionism and support Palestinians.
On Tuesday night, a Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: "The Home Secretary has consented to the Metropolitan Police banning Sunday’s Al Quds march and any associated counter-protest marches. This will be in place from 16:00hrs on Wednesday, 11 March and last one month.
Sir Mark Rowley, the Met Commissioner, is said to have assessed that the risk of serious disorder had reached the threshold that justified such action.
Thousands were expected to attend the march amid the US-Israeli strikes on Iran and the ongoing war in the Middle East.
Counter-protesters were also expected to descend upon London to demonstrate against the Iranian regime.
