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.

The UK government recently outlawed Palestine Act under anti-terrorism legislation.

@streetartutopia I'm surprised it was covered up rather than immediately painted over or removed.
