Banksy at Royal Courts of Justice in London!
By Vidar
A new mural by Banksy was discovered on Monday on a building belonging to the Royal Courts of Justice in London.
The artwork depicts a judge in a traditional white wig raising his gavel against a protester, who shields himself with a blood-smeared placard.
According to British media, the mural is seen as a response to the arrest of several hundred demonstrators on Saturday in support of the recently banned group Palestine Act. The piece was quickly covered with black plastic and metal barriers, guarded throughout the day by security staff.

Banksy shared a photo of the work on his Instagram account with the caption: “Royal Courts Of Justice. London.”
The UK government recently outlawed Palestine Act under anti-terrorism legislation.

A few more artworks to take you somewhere else.
The banned group is called Palestine Action.
@streetartutopia I'm surprised it was covered up rather than immediately painted over or removed.

@sloanlance @streetartutopia@streetartutopia.com They do not paint over banksys works in uk! They did one time and got sued by the owners of the building. 😂
