The shocking statue erected in the city alongside the Palestinian Authority flag

A bronze statue of Marwan Barghouti, who is serving five life sentences in Israel, was placed on the roof of 'Palestine House' in London. Camden Council has opened a planning enforcement investigation following a complaint from the UKLFI organization, which claims the statue does not appear in the approved building plans.

A life-sized bronze statue of the terrorist Marwan Barghouti, who is serving five life sentences in Israel, was placed on the roof of 'Palestine House' in central London. The UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) organization reported that Camden Council has opened a planning enforcement investigation following its complaint. The statue, depicting Barghouti with his hands raised, stands on a roof on High Holborn Street in a conservation area. The organization claims that the statue and its base do not appear in the architectural plans approved for the building, and that the addition should be examined separately from the permit for roof works. The investigation concerns planning law only, and no decision has yet been published ordering the statue's removal. UKLFI criticized the enforcement of the law on site.
