I don't understand this. The UK have designated HAMAS as a terrorist organization, and it's a CRIME to admit membership or support of them, at least as of Dec 13, 2023. This is according to the GOV.UK website. Unless this has changed, why would holding a sign stating a FACT be a crime?
My guess is they would say he’s antagonising the Palestinian marchers. Ie, causing a breach of the peace. It’s crazy they’re not bothered about the marchers provocating the Jewish community.
I've just watched a video of a Police Officer telling people that they can't wave the Union Flag because it would be provocative and could start a riot. What the hell has happened to this country? Is this what my Grandparents and Parents went through two World Wars for?
Well done, Mark - we are proud of you. Didn't someone say that the law is an ass? Unfortunately it looks like our police are determined to show that they were right.
From the House of Commons Library: "In November 2021 the Home Secretary announced that the Government had laid an instrument to proscribe Hamas in its entirety". If Hamas is proscribed, there is no way in this universe that any prosecution for having a sign parroting what is published in the house of commons library is going succeed. If it does, this country is really, truly and utterly finished.
I support your fight from across the Pond and pray for my Jewish brothers and sisters worldwide daily. I hope your friend has an excellent attorney and will pray not only for his exoneration but your government's comeuppance. What has happened with your government and policing? It's horrifying! Your free speech has been eroded severely! I am not knowledgeable re: English law, at all, but don't Jews have protected status by law? Do Islamists? Google was sparse with answers to that question, but isn't there something there, protected status for Jews, your friend could use in defense?
How on earth can you bail a person that has not officially been charged? Surely this is illegal and a breech of human rights. Hope the Police are sued.
How ridiculous the British government say Hamas are a terrorist organisation but your not allowed to hold a sign up saying that.
It’s illegal to protest a protest ?
So terrorist supporters are antagonized by a sign which tells them that they support terrorists.
If a court punishes someone for telling the truth then justice has collapsed in Britain and so has the law with it .
Hold on a sec???? the UK says Hamas ARE terrorists, but you go to court for pointing out their own decrees??? barking mad?
😅
the sea of hateful placards every Saturday- and they found this one provocative? beggars belief.
It is absolutely absurd.

Imagine doing something so scandalous like telling the truth.
You can’t charge against the truth!
Yeah truth always win in the end
Good luck to you Mark. The GOOD people of the UK are behind you.
Embarrassing...what a shocking state of affairs this country is in. The Met Police are not fit for purpose
What about " River to the Sea " posters ! FFS Get them arrested !
Yeap
the people on those marches are the ones antagonizing
What about this fellow's human rights?
They need to start suing the government for having their basic rights violated.
EXACTLY!!
Niyak must think he is still in Iran. Shocking!!!
Why is it forbidden in England to call a terrorist organization a terrorist organization ?
You are completely right I honour you for standing up to these wrong ones ❤
No wonder were all getting angry....nothing about this is just or fair policing...
The 🇬🇧 majority stand with you 💯
Why should a man who said Hamas is terrorist being arrested it is absolutely ridiculous.
Yet the guy wearing the "Hamas 7" football shirt is still free because all the tec and cctv cameras can't trace him ....mmmmm
What is the crime?
Hold up a sign and go to jail. Get caught with nonse pics and get a suspended sentence
Christ Almighty. What are we doing to our country?
It's hard to imagine this is our world!
What is the opposing truth of Hamas is terrorist?
The ridiculousness of this all is beyond belief and shocking
So is Hamas not recognised Terrorist Organisation so i dont understand why this guy is in court 🤔
When laws promoting terrorist then it’s against Gods Moral values and we should make a stand!!!
In one word, rediculous! Free the world from hamas and other terrorist organisations! 🇮🇱
Speaking truth and facts is a "crime" now!!
I wonder if the police consider the government proscribing Hamas, is a lawful act?
May God protect this man. And may God help the UK.
The silent majority are with you mark ..
"when good men say nothing..."
Silence is how they win.
The silent majority now needs to speak up
But you know, being silent doesn't really count.
We need to be less silent
I'm not convinced they are. I hope you are right, but jeez, they can't stay silent for much longer.
What's this country coming to it's getting crazier and crazier
I cant believe what I hear here.
Mark, thank you for your courage.
That's insane! Coming after the decent good hearted people
He is from IRAN 🇮🇷 he knows too well what they are about I feel sad for NIYAK he is being targeted and harassed
Your standing for truthhold your head high
This is an absolute disgrace.
Mark is amazing. The police and court is totally shocking. Thank you for this update.
Absolute madness 😢
Well done, Mark - we are proud of you. Didn't someone say that the law is an ass? Unfortunately it looks like our police are determined to show that they were right.
😂
This Canadian supports Mark and Nyak.
The silent majority needs to start speaking up, it's time.
All Brits the majority stand with you
What a shame!!!
Saying the truth how did it get to court
Facts will always be facts, go Mark go!!!
Unbelievable! The law is a joke! How can we have faith in our justice system when things like this go on
Never Ever Take A Backward Step.
The Lord God of this nation and Israel stands right with you.
God bless.
Thank you for sharing the update.

Purely punative.
Madness. When did telling the truth that's agreed upon 7 countries become a crime? Ridiculous
Madness! What a waste of people’s time
All this money spent taking innocent people to court ,that have not done anything criminal, could be used for pensioners heating supplement.
Thank you both ❤
What has happened to this country. The authorities are absolutely insane.
The judge should throw the case out of court, then fine the CPS for contempt of court, while bringing charges against them for malicious prosecution.
What a shameful farce.
Did they give a reason why Mark is not allowed to speak to Niyak?
This is kin unbelievable 😢
Nyak always gets picked on bless him I wish you both 🍀 LUCK hopefully 🤞
Where were the mainstream media?
What about the really bad posters being held zero done re those which are the extreme!!!!
When the truth is in plain site, madness reigns.
One word - shocking. I hope I'm wrong when saying I think the UK is a goner.
I thought Hamas was a registered terrorist organisation. Am I wrong?
I can't believe this. What possible crame could he have committed. He just holds up a sign that states the truth
What has become of the UK? This is unreal.
The 'Silent Majority' need to find a Voice! 😡
Silence will Not save our, once great, Nation. 🤔🇬🇧🇬🇧
How can he be arrested for that? Why cant he hold a sign with truth?
What were the charges ?
#FreeNiyak #Hamasisterrorist
🦁🦁🦁
watching from Canada , big love ! Am Yisrael Chai !
Disgraceful - we are with you Mark,
Shocking.
The world has gone mad😢
The truth will set us free.
This is truly a SIGN of the times 🦧
We are with you Mark
Britain is in big trouble
That is ridiculous
...and that's the long and the short of it 😊

Very good idea to show the signs outside the courts.
What a LOAD OF CRAP!!
How can you be arrested for that when Hamas are globally recognised as a terrorist organisation?
Next week man gets arrested for holding up sign that says, "water is wet"! Really though, I've heard of the grammar police, but this is ridiculous!
I honestly can't believe what I'm watching here, unbelievable.
Honestly baffling that it has gone this far.
FFS, this is ludicrous, offended by the truth... pathetic.
So it is okay for hamas supporters to call for the destruction of Israel, but it is not okay for someone to display a sign that is factual.
How on earth can you bail a person that has not officially been charged? Surely this is illegal and a breech of human rights. Hope the Police are sued.
What an useless police force. Big disgrace
If the government have deemed Hamas as a terrorist group how then can he go to court for stating what the government has said?
How can the truth be considered atagonicing other protesters, dont everyone have the right to free speach, especially if it is the truth?
Imagine stating facts gets you arrested
Arrested for facts. Great.
