Thousands of demonstrators are expected to gather in central London today despite the Metropolitan Police imposing conditions on three separate demonstrations, Al Jazeera reports.

The protest, organised under the Palestine Coalition, including the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) and Stop the War, will gather in Piccadilly near Green Park station before marching towards the UK parliament for a rally.

A counterprotest, organised by the group Stop the Hate, will be taking place in Coventry Street, near Piccadilly Circus, Al Jazeera added.

The Metropolitan Police have imposed conditions under the Public Order Act on both protests, meaning participants of the pro-Palestine demonstration must not assemble before midday, and the procession must remain on a prescribed route.
