A POLICE adviser has been SACKED over his “apparent anti-semitic views” after the TV lawyer led pro-Palestinian chants.

Attiq Malik, who featured in Channel 4’s 24 Hours in Police Custody, was caught on video shouting “from the river to the sea Palestine will be free”.

The Telegraph yesterday uncovered the clip from 2021 – causing Met Police to sack him.

Mr Malik had been chairman of London Muslim Communities Forum, which is described on a dedicated page of the Met’s website as a “strategic advisory body for the Met”. 

In a statement a police spokesperson said: “The video shared by the Telegraph today has brought to our attention that the chair of the London Muslim Communities Forum has expressed views in a way which does not align to the Met’s values.

“We regularly engage with a whole range of community groups, many of which hold strongly opposing views.

“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 anti-Semitic and contrary with our values,

“As a result we will be immediately ceasing our relationship with Mr Malik whilst we investigate.”

The solicitor appeared on the pilot episode of Channel 4’s hit TV program 24 Hours in Police Custody.

He has also appeared on shows such as Good Morning Britain as a law expert.
