Banksy’s new mural at London’s Royal Courts of Justice, depicting a protester being beaten by a judge, has been removed. Initially covered up, bystanders attempted to remove the fences surrounding the artwork.
Banksy’s artwork appeared after almost 900 people were arrested over the weekend for protesting the ban of Palestine Action, a direct action group that has now been designated a terrorist organisation by the British government, alongside al-Qaeda and the Islamic State.
Although Banksy never comments on his artwork, he has created previous work in support of Palestine, including murals on the Israeli separation wall in the occupied West Bank.
