Three people have been charged with public order offences following a pro-Palestine protest outside Sir Keir Starmer’s family home.
Leonorah Ward, 21, from Leeds, Zosia Lewis, 23, of Newcastle upon Tyne and Daniel Formentin, 24, of Leeds, will appear before Westminster Magistrates Court today.
They have been charged with section 42 of the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001, a power designed to “stop the harassment of a person at their home address”, and for breaching court bail, a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said.
A statement from the Met said: “The arrests were made on Tuesday, April 9 under section 42 of the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001.
“This power stops the harassment of a person at their home address if an officer suspects it is causing alarm or distress to the occupant.”
The campaigners arrived at the Labour leader’s house in north London on Tuesday to call on him to support an arms embargo on Israel.
The move was condemned by the prime minister, who said that “no MP should be harassed at their own home”.
