I happened upon this livestream by Mahyar Tousi covering the pro-Palestine demonstration in central London. It was very dramatic!
I think he put himself in danger to get this footage and he acted with great professionalism and courage to get this story into the public domain. He suggested that he couldn’t see any legacy media covering this story. The legacy media these days seems to lack a great deal of moral courage and it is good that proper journalists like Mahyar Tousi are filling this enormous gap.
Massive respect to this man. He should get a journalist award for his work.

UPDATE 16.10.2023
Mahyar Tousi tries to do some follow up coverage as a citizen journalist and is stopped by the police ‘for his own safety’. He exposes the double standards in policing and documents the some of the things the police have been tolerating.
We are clearly not living in a free society and the police are acting as enforces for an unruly mob. An utter disgrace!
NB. Regarding the man being arrested while carrying the Union Flag. The Metropolitan Police have said that they did not arrest him for carrying the flag, but we have not been told what he was actually arrested for. Has the man been even been charged with anything?

UPDATE 2 – 16/10/2023
Mahyar Tousi covering tonight’s protest outside the BBC HQ in London. There was a rousing speech by Andre Walker that was well received. Looked like a well natured protest in stark contrast to the pro-Palestine protest Mahyar previously covered.
