Transport Secretary Mark Harper said he had given an order to allow police to stop the demonstration on Friday evening.
Five people have been arrested during a pro-Palestinian sit-in at London’s King’s Cross station after the demonstration was banned.
Others appear to show the controversial slogan “from the river to the sea” being shouted with demonstrators replying “Palestine will be free”. British Transport Police said its officers told protesters about the notice and advised them to leave.Most protesters left “without incident” by 7.15pm, the force added, and some then joined a demonstration outside the station.
Assistant Chief Constable Sean O’Callaghan said: “I am pleased that the use of the public order legislation, which applied to the operation of the railway, worked well tonight. The Transport Secretary said: “While the right to peaceful protest is a key part of our democratic society, it cannot be at the expense of other people’s right not to be seriously disrupted or intimidated.
