Why did 30 Met officers kick the door down at a teenage tea and biscuits meeting in a Quaker house?

A group of young women discussing the climate crisis in a Quaker meeting house in London were unexpectedly arrested as they prepared for protests. The raid occurred after the police identified them as part of Youth Demand, planning to disrupt public life in the city. Using stun guns and force, they broke into the meeting house, leading to prolonged arrests—17 hours inside a cell—and significant legal action against the women. The incident has drawn criticism from religious leaders, activists, and politicians for what they view as an overreach of authority at a place of worship.
