Summary of complaint
We received complaints from people unhappy that the pro-Palestinian marches in the UK were misrepresented as demonstrations in support of Hamas.
Our response
During our continuing coverage of the Israel-Gaza conflict we mentioned some of the pro-Palestinian demonstrations that took place on the weekend of October 14th/15th. 聽We spoke about 鈥渟everal demonstrations across Britain during which people voiced their backing for Hamas鈥.
We accept that this was poorly phrased and was a misleading description of the demonstrations. Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters took to the streets across the UK and although there were some arrests there was little evidence of any significant support for Hamas during these demonstrations. 聽We clarified this on air later in the day.
We apologise for the mistake and we have published an acknowledgement and correction of this on the 成人快手鈥檚 Corrections and Clarifications website: /helpandfeedback/corrections_clarifications
