Central London was paralyzed on Wednesday evening due to an Islamic march that, according to eyewitnesses, disrupted normal traffic flow and caused significant difficulties for residents and visitors. The incident occurred on Regent Street during rush hour, where many vehicles were blocked due to road closures.

The London police closed several major roads to allow the procession to pass through the capital. According to police representatives, officers were present to minimize disruptions and handle any incidents. Nevertheless, many vehicles, including an ambulance, were blocked, leading to substantial delays.

The march led to the closure of major streets in London, causing negative reactions among locals and tourists. Many tourists were puzzled by the situation and did not understand why the city's central streets were closed.

Many Britons expressed dissatisfaction with the police's actions during the Islamic march in central London. Public opinion was divided, with many believing that the police acted unfairly, providing privileges to certain groups. This raises serious concerns about two-tier policing and its impact on social unity and justice in society.

This incident highlights the need for a more transparent and fair approach to conducting mass events in the city. It is crucial that information about such events is available in advance so that residents and visitors can plan their movements accordingly.
