A BBC television studio in Belfast had to be placed into lockdown on Tuesday morning after a group of pro-Palestine activists gatecrashed onto the premises.

It’s understood almost two dozen protesters, some of whom carried Palestinian flags and wore traditional Palestinian scarves, gained access to Blackstaff House on Great Victoria Street for a short time.

The building, which is home to NI’s largest purpose-built TV hub known as Studio A, was quickly shut down as demonstrators chanted "Free Palestine".

BBC News has reported that the PSNI was called to the scene where they removed protesters.

Police and BBC NI has been contacted for comment..

  1. I remember watching something about a group of female LGBT activists gate crashing a national News programme in the 80s .

    Was it BBC News at 6?

    They apparently chained themselves to the studio desks, chanted a number of slogans in the background whilst Sue Lawley and a colleague tried to retain poker faces + dispassionately read the news headlines of the day as security personnel worked in the background to eject them..

  2. How do we spread awareness for our cause?

    I know. Let’s fuck with everyone’s work day at the BBC in Belfast. That will really get those fuckers from the BBC on our side.

  4. The BBC was promised to them by God thousands of years ago, nothing to see here.

  6. Fair play to the protesters, The BBC’s parroting of Israeli propaganda should not go unchallenged ✊

  7. The bias reporting by the BBC on the genocide in Gaza is absolutely disgusting, they are yet to condemn Israel on their daily slaughter of children and war crimes!

  10. ITT:

    *”I’m all for people’s right to protest except for if I have to hear about it, it does anything, makes any noise, gets any attention or inconveniences anyone”*
