The vigil was disrupted by police yesterday who moved it because of Saturday's march. After the demonstration many incidents occurred with police, and the road was blocked off long into the night.
The vigil is back on now, with more support arriving after the end of the counter-demonstration in Trafalgar Square.
Despite the presence of the vigil and in particular the main protestor of the vigil, Kara, being notified to the police, he was still stopped and searched yesterday morning by officers for 'antisocial behaviour'. All this after a long and cold night in sub-zero tempratures with no shelter. The police having originally approved a tent, withdrew permission for it.

Why?
- 24/7 Gaza Vigil, London, UK
- This vigil was started on Friday 9th January, as part of the many protests against the war crimes and atrocities committed against Gaza. We are standing outside the Israeli embassy because it is the symbol of the Israeli military and their political masters. Come and join us by calling 020 8904 4222 or email a mesage of support for the blog to info@ihrc.org. Amongst the many supporters of the vigil are FOSIS (the Federation of Students' Islamic Societies) and IJAN (International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network).
