Scotland Yard said the language and views expressed by Mr Malik 'appear antisemitic and contrary with our values' and it would be 'immediately ceasing our relationship' with him while it investigates.
The Metropolitan Police has ceased working with an adviser who was filmed leading a chant of the controversial slogan 'from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free'. Solicitor Attiq Malik is chair of the London Muslim Communities Forum, which serves as a 'strategic advisory body' to Scotland Yard. Footage shared by The Sunday Telegraph shows Mr Malik leading the controversial chant in 2021 after speaking out against 'global censorship by the Zionists'.
It is important that we continue to listen to opposing views. This is how we put community voices at the heart of policing London. 'This instance has highlighted past language and views expressed by Attiq Malik that appear antisemitic and contrary with our values. 'As a result we will be immediately ceasing our relationship with Mr Malik whilst we investigate.' Sky News has contacted Mr Malik for comment.
