The renowned street artist Banksy, whose identity has never been confirmed, published their latest artwork via their Instagram at the start of this week. It is a mural on the walls of London’s Royal Court of Justice, depicting a barrister savagely beating a protester with his gavel.
It is speculated the picture is in response to the arrest of hundreds of demonstrators who supported the group Palestine Action – a group which has been banned by the British justice system and labelled a terrorist organisation. That decision has sparked controversy, seeing the ban as a threat to the right to peaceful protest.
