Several Zionists were injured when British constables dispersed, and freely used their clubs on, the participants in a mass meeting which was held here last night. A number of the injured were taken to the Hadassah hospital for medical treatment. Two are reported seriously hurt and remained in the hospital.
The meeting, which was held under the auspices of the Zionist Revisionists (opposition to the Weizmann regime within the Zionist movement) had been called in order to protest against the suspension of Jewish immigration to Palestine pending Sir John Simpson’s inquiry. When the speakers scored Dr. Weizmann they were interrupted by Zionist laborites who shouted “long live Weizmann.”
The police closed the meeting, British constables dispersing the crowd without warning.
