Man charged over alleged antisemitic chanting

Detectives investigating allegations of antisemitic chanting at a demonstration in central London in October have charged a man.

Samuel Williams, 20 (17.02.05), of Oxford has been charged with stirring up racial hatred contrary to Section 18(1) of the Public Order Act 1986. He will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, 27 January.

The investigation was launched after video footage emerged online of a man chanting in Whitehall during a Palestine Coalition demonstration on Saturday, 11 October.

On Wednesday, 15 October officers arrested the man at an address in Oxford. He was interviewed and bailed to return at a later date. He was ultimately charged as above today – Tuesday, 16 December.
