Pro-Palestine murals in London face council review and removal

Tower Hamlets criticised by its own mayor for taking down murals, while Redbridge reviews artwork after complaints

Council authorities have moved to take down pro-Palestine murals in east London, while another is being reviewed after complaints were made by pro-Israel lawyers.

The latter, which depicts four journalists standing against a backdrop of ruins and under the words Heroes of Palestine", went up last month in Redbridge, east London, as local authorities came under pressure over similar murals.
