Councillor convicted over protest disturbance

Cardiff Council ward member for Penylan, Cllr Imran Latif, was suspended from the Liberal Democrats group last year after he was charged with two offences following a pro-Palestine protest that took place in June 2024.

Cllr Latif, 45, pleaded guilty at a Cardiff Magistrates' Court hearing yesterday to locking himself to a person to cause significant disturbance.

The second charge of using threatening/abusive words/behaviour likely to cause a disturbance was dismissed after no evidence was offered.

South Wales Police said 16 people were arrested after a protest occurred in the front desk area of Cardiff Bay Police Station at 9.30pm on June 3, 2024. This happened just hours after another protest involving 50 to 60 protesters took place in Cardiff city centre.
