Banksy Mural at Royal Courts of Justice Removed Within Hours Amid Palestine Action Crackdown

A new Banksy mural showing a judge striking a protester appeared outside London’s Royal Courts of Justice and was covered within hours. The Met opened a criminal damage investigation, and HM Courts and Tribunals Service says it will remove the work to protect the listed building. The piece coincided with mass arrests at a rally against the U.K.’s proscription of Palestine Action.
