Thousands protest anti-terror laws, Iraq war in London

Tens of thousands of people took to the streets of London on Saturday, September 24, to protest against the recent anti-terror measures and demand the withdrawal of British troops from Iraq. The march, organized by the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) jointly with the Stop The War Coalition and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), set off from the Houses of Parliament at around noon (1100 GMT), and moved to Hyde Park. The protesters raised banners reading "stop discrimination against Muslims," and "end occupation of Palestine and Iraq."
