Led By Donkeys wins compensation over seizure of Gaza protest banner

Waste firm Veolia pays 27k after Yes it's a Genocide' banner taken by Greater London Authority was destroyed

The campaign group Led By Donkeys has received 27,000 in compensation after a giant banner it displayed in Parliament Square saying Yes it's a Genocide" was seized by Greater London Authority officials and destroyed.

Representatives of the GLA arrived on the scene in central London and confiscated the 40-metre by 40-metre banner after it was unfurled on 4 December 2024, just under two months after Israel began its assault on Gaza following the 11 October attacks by Hamas.
