(National-UAE) The British government warned it will prosecute protesters who break the law if Hezbollah flags are displayed in online demonstrations.
In a change of policy in response to the coronavirus outbreak, the Home Office announced to the National that it will observe protests on Zoom and other online platforms.
Last year Sajid Javid, then home secretary, designated the whole of Hezbollah as a terrorist organisation after its flags were flown at protests in London.
At the Trafalgar Square protest the flag, emblazoned with a Kalashnikov assault rifle, was flown.
Showing support for Hezbollah in the UK carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in jail.
