"Rishi Sunak Warns of 'Mob Rule' Threat to Democracy in UK"

TL;DR Summary
UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has expressed concern over the rise of "mob rule" in Britain amid heightened protests related to the Gaza conflict, urging a crackdown on demonstrations that cross the line. Sunak's comments come as some MPs report feeling unsafe due to pro-Palestinian demonstrations outside their homes and increased death threats. The government has issued a new "Defending Democracy Policing Protocol" to address these concerns, but human rights group Amnesty International has criticized Sunak's language, warning that it risks undermining the right to peaceful protest.
